<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><P><SPAN>Grid reflects the estimated frequency of severe thermal stress (NOAA Bleaching Alert Level 2) for decade 2050. Values are a percent (as integer) of the decade in which the grid cell would experience severe thermal stress under an IPCC "business-as-usual" emissions scenario. The specific indicator used in the model was the frequency (number of years in the decade) that the bleaching threshold is reached at least once. Frequencies were adjusted to account for historical sea surface temperature variability. Values range from 0 to 100. See the Reefs at Risk Revisited report and technical notes for more information.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV> |
