NOTICE -- Possible American Samoa Bleaching
http://orbit-net.nesdis.noaa.gov/orad/sub/sst_series_fagatele_cur.html
The above time series shows that SSTs at American Samoa have been
flirting with critical levels that would indicate bleaching may be close
at hand. We understand from P. Craig that some bleaching has indeed
been observed recently at Ofu. This is in a region where we have seen
Degree Heating Weeks (DHW), that show accumulations of HotSpot values,
beginning to accumulate...presently at 2.6 DHW. Any observations of
bleaching should be reported at the following address:
