Abstract:
"Since 1990 we have been able to predict virtually all known large scale coral reef bleaching events in real time using the "HotSpot" criterion (Goreau et al., 1990; Goreau and Hayes, 1994; Goreau, Hayes and Strong, 1997; Strong, 1998). We identify regions of the tropical ocean where satellite-derived sea surface temperatures (SST) exceed 1.0 C above the monthly average value in the warm season (Strong, 1992; Strong et al., 1997)...."
