SST = Sea Surface Temperature Hotspot = SST - MMM_SST_climatology where the MMM_SST_climatology value is the highest monthly mean SST of the year. Anomaly = If the value is positive, it means that the SST is higher than average. If the value is negative, it means that the SST is lower than average. DHW = Degree Heating Week Value The gauge at the top will tell you the current coral bleaching alert level.
