  Description: 
    Abstract: The Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML)
      of OAR is conducting research on the influence of meteorological
      and oceanographic factors upon coral bleaching, and other
      biogeochemical processes occurring on coral reefs.  Instrument
      arrays to measure the various environmental influences are being
      deployed at key coral reef areas to gain long-term temporally
      intensive data coverage, to provide near real-time information
      products, and to surface-truth NOAA satellite sea surface
      temperature (SST) products used for coral bleaching predictions
      ("HotSpot" products).  OAR has developed expert system software
      plus the instrument array (together called the Integrated Coral
      Observing Network, or ICON, station) to screen data in near
      real-time to test for appropriate data ranges for each of the
      instruments, and to issue "alerts" as to conditions thought to be
      conducive to coral bleaching, and other modeled events.  At each
      ICON station, local collaborators also provide feedback on the
      presence and progress of coral bleaching and thus validate coral
      bleaching predictions made by satellite HotSpots and ICON
      information products.
    Purpose: The impetus for such a framework was the perceived
      marked regional decline in coral reefs and the
      critical need to provide data and options for
      resource management.
    Supplemental_Information: Salinity is in practical salinity units; Wind speed is
      in knots; barometric pressure is in millibars;
      wind direction is in degrees of the compass;
      temperature is in Celsius; Ultraviolet radiation
      is in units of A?J cm-2 s-1; Photosynthetically
      active radiation is in A?mol quanta m-2s-1
      The partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) is in m atm
      Relative humidity is in units of g m-3; Hail/Rain
      amount is in mm hr-1, hail/rain duration and intensity is in seconds
      -9 in the data set indicates that the parameter is unavailable
