Hector,
As has been reported from Flordia and now the region off the Sea of
Cortez...bleaching from high SSTs. Tuesday we had noted from the HotSpot
product, being produced experimentally by NOAA/NESDIS from satellite data,
exceptionally high sea surface temperatures...possibly being augmented by
the incredible El Nino in the eastern tropical Pacific...might be causing
some bleaching along the Mexican coast near Baja, etc.
You can link to the site [at home, so do not have Hotspot URL committed to
memory...yet!..sorry:
http://wesley.wwb.noaa.gov/eileen/orad/const1.html
thru "experimental Products" and "coral reefs" to the "New Coral
Reef Hotspot" product.
Let us know if the areas affected coincide with the yellow/orange regions
depicted on this week's chart...updates on Tuesday/Saturday.
Thanks,
Al Strong
