Abstract：
Abnormal high sea surface temperature (SST) is the most widespread and threatening factor affecting coral reefs. Thermal stress prediction dataset of coral reefs in South China Sea Islands (1982-2100) was developed based on the SST data observed by NOAA AVHRR in 1982-2009 and the predicted SST data of the Second Generation Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM2) in CMIP5 in 2006-2100 in RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios in the South China Sea. The spatial patterns of chronic and acute thermal stress of coral reefs of the South China Sea Islands were extracted by using the linear regression method and the Degree Heating Weeks (DHW) index. The dataset includes: (1) chronic thermal stress data, which consists of the summer SST rise rate (℃/10a) observed by AVHRR in 1982-2009, and the summer SST rise rate (℃/10a) simulated by CanESM2 model in 2006-2100 under the scenarios of RCP4.5 and RCP8.5. (2) acute thermal stress, which consists of the accumulated time for which the ecosystem function is under reduced from acute stress events for all reef cells according to AVHRR observed time series in 1982-2009, monthly DHW and the years that reef locations start to experience bleaching conditions annually from March 2006 to December 2100 projected by CanESM2 model for RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios. The dataset is archived in .img data format, consists of 6862 data files with data size of 57.5 MB (Compressed to one single file with 12.0 MB). The analysis papers based on this dataset were published in Chinese Geographical Science, Vol. 75, No. 3, 2020, Acta Geographica Sinica, Vol. 75, No. 3, 2020, and Scientia Geographica Sinica, Vol. 40, No. 5, 2020.Browse
