Abstract:
"Through NASA Applied Science funding, the University of South Florida, NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW), NASA Ames, and the University of Colorado developed a next-generation near-real-time satellite decision support system to monitor conditions leading to coral bleaching. New products transition the CRW global system from 50-km to 5-km resolution, with 100 X greater spatial resolution and 25-100 X greater data density per pixel. These products are moving toward operational status at NOAA/NESDIS and are already being applied by resource managers. Regional 1-km products are being run at USF and CONABIO for regional applications."
