Climatology for NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) Daily Global 5km Satellite Coral Bleaching Heat Stress Monitoring Product Suite Version 3.1 for 1985-01-01 to 2012-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0185742)

This package contains a set of 12 monthly mean (MM) climatologies, one for each calendar month, and the maximum monthly mean (MMM) climatology. Each climatology has global coverage at 0.05-degree (5km) spatial resolution. The climatologies were derived from NOAA Coral Reef Watch's (CRW) CoralTemp Version 1.0 product and are based on the 1985-2012 time period of the CoralTemp data. They are used in deriving CRW's Daily Global 5km Satellite Coral Bleaching Heat Stress Monitoring Product Suite Version 3.1. MMs are used to derive the SST Anomaly product, and the MMM is used to derive CRW's Coral Bleaching HotSpot, Degree Heating Week, and Bleaching Alert Area products.
