<td colspan="10">The flagship for the NOAA Coral Reef Watch Project is
the HotSpot product suite. These product are utilized by thousands of
users (including many of the world’s coral reef managers) to predict the
onset of thermally-induced mass coral bleaching. At present, the
algorithms that these products are based on uses sea surface temperature
(SST) only, however the physiological mechanism that causes mass coral
bleaching is a combination of incoming solar radiation and water
temperature. Clearly, our algorithms would benefit from the inclusion of
a solar radiation product at high resolution.</td>

<td colspan="10">This product would vastly improve the accuracy of
estimates of coral bleaching. Currently we have significant success in
predicting coral bleaching based purely on SST, however there is plenty
of room for improvement. The one thing we have had little success with
is the prediction of mortality as a result of bleaching. The addition of
solar radiation to this equation would greatly improve our ability to
determine the possibility of mortality.</td>
