🪸 Coral Bleaching Alert System

INCOIS CBAS · Satellite Thermal Stress Monitoring

ℹ️ What do these metrics mean?

HotSpot (HS): Instantaneous Sea Surface Temperature (SST) anomaly above the maximum monthly mean — indicates immediate thermal stress.

Degree of Heating Weeks (DHW): Thermal stress accumulated over a 12-week window (°C-weeks) — indicates bleaching severity and potential mortality risk.

🌿 Algal Bloom Information Services (ABIS)

INCOIS · Detection & Monitoring of Bloom in the Indian Seas

Latest Bloom Information Last Updated: 05 Sep 2026

INCOIS Algal Bloom Information Services (ABIS) provides near real-time spatio-temporal detection and spread monitoring of phytoplankton blooms over the North Indian Ocean (0°–31°N & 35°E–103°E) to safeguard fisheries, mariculture, and marine ecosystems.

📍 Identified Ecological Bloom Hotspots

a) North Eastern Arabian Sea (NEAS) 19°N – 23°N & 62°E – 67°E

Characterized by seasonal winter-spring green Noctiluca scintillans blooms, high chlorophyll anomalies, and associated subsurface hypoxia.

b) Coastal Waters of Kerala (KRL) 8°N – 12°N & 73°E – 77°E

Monsoon coastal upwelling zone susceptible to mixed diatom blooms, red Noctiluca, and localized fish asphyxia.

c) Gulf of Mannar (GOM) 7°N – 11°N & 78°E – 81°E

Ecologically sensitive biosphere reserve monitoring coral reef health, mariculture habitats, and micro-plankton surges.

d) Coastal Waters of Gopalpur (GPLPR) 17°N – 20°N & 84°E – 87°E

North-Western Bay of Bengal coastal region tracking riverine nutrient discharge, diatom blooms, and pelagic fishery complement.

🌪️ Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential (TCHP)

ℹ️ Cyclone Intensification Energy Guide:
< 50 kJ/cm²Low / Unfavorable
50 - 80 kJ/cm²Moderate / Favorable
> 80 kJ/cm²⚠️ Rapid Intensification

Tropical Cyclone Heat Potential measures integrated upper-ocean thermal energy down to the 26°C isotherm. High TCHP (>80 kJ/cm²) prevents cyclone-induced cooling and fuels severe cyclone intensification.
