HCBC 2015 Hawaii Bleaching Analysis Ready Clustered Data (NCEI Accession 0241610)

browse graphicPreview graphic
The analysis-ready data described here result from performing hierarchical clustering of individual coral bleaching surveys conducted across the Hawaiian Archipelago in 2015. In order to resolve issues of spatial autocorrelation, the surveys were grouped into distinct clusters with a spatial resolution of 1km. This dataset contains environmental data paired for all 2015 observations, used to analyze drivers of the coral bleaching event. This dataset also contains weights assigned to each observation.

Processing Steps
  • Parameter or Variable: CORAL - BLEACHING (calculated); Units: percent; Observation Category: other; Sampling Instrument: N/A; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Percent of living coral cover that was partially or fully bleached (0-100%; e.g. 5% bleached cover) was recorded per survey. All observations within a 1km spatial resolution (cluster) were then averaged..
  • Parameter or Variable: environmental drivers (calculated); Units: N/A; Observation Category: other; Sampling Instrument: N/A; Sampling and Analyzing Method: Environmental data derived from satellite and in-situ surveys were paired with coral bleaching data in order to analyze what the main drivers of the 2015 bleaching event in Hawaii were..
