Computing applications for satellite temperature datasets : a performance evaluation of Graphics Processing Units
The Coral Reef Watch program of NOAA develops and provides remote sensing tools for the conservation of coral reef ecosystems. Reef managers and other stakeholders have expressed a desire for higher resolution monitoring tools than those currently availab...
Product development plan for the next generation of satellite remote sensing products for NOAA coral reef ecosystem management activities
This report is designed to assist the NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program (Coral Program) to identify satellite remote sensing opportunities and plan for the application of these technologies to coral reef management. The report highlights product develo...
Satellite monitoring of reef vulnerability in a changing climate
Coral reefs throughout the world are subjected to a number of anthropogenic stressors. Some of the most pervasive of these are a result of climate change. Increasing sea surface temperature of the world's oceans is resulting in unprecedented, mass coral b...
NOAA coral reef watch 50 km satellite sea surface temperature-based decision support system for coral bleaching management
This report provides an overview of CRW's operational twice-weekly 0.5 degree (approximately 50 km spatial resolution) satellite coral bleaching thermal stress monitoring product suite, representing CRW's heritage product suite and the core of CRW's curre...
Climatology development for NOAA Coral Reef Watch's 5-km product suite
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Coral Reef Watch (CRW) program has used a 50-km resolution 'Heritage' analysis of satellite sea surface temperature (SST) observations to monitor coral reef thermal stress for more than 15 ye...
