When will the NOAA Coral Bleaching Alert Level and SSTA layers be finalised?

IsobelRyan

We are currently preparing for the upcoming summer period and hoping to use the 5km Coral Bleaching Alert Level and SSTA ArcGIS layers which are updated daily.

I can see that these layers are still in the beta phase and was wondering if anyone knows when these layers are expected to be finalised. I also note that the layer will be updated daily however, the most recent data only extends to the 16/11/2025. Is this a potential bug?

Hi Isabel, 
The layers are listed as Beta since they're using a new technology that occasionally has update issues due to the long timeseries. We are working to stabilize them. If you need more timely data, I'd suggest using the CRW Virtual Stations that are a summary of this data. Note that NOAA's processing of the data is lagging ~2 days.

We also have a "Most Recent" version of SST and SSTA available in Living Atlas.
