For starters, try these:

Atwood,-D.K.; Hendee,-J.C.; Mendez,-A. 1992. An assessment of
	global warming stress on Caribbean coral reef
	ecosystems. Bull. Mar. Sci. 51(1): 118-130.

Cook,-C.B.; Logan,-A.; Ward,-J.; Luckhurst,-B.; Berg,-
        C.J.,Jr.  Elevated temperatures and bleaching on a high
        latitude coral reef: The 1988 Bermuda event.  CORAL-
        REEFS. 1990. vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 45-49.

Gates,-R.D.  Seawater temperature and sublethal coral
        bleaching in Jamaica.  CORAL-REEFS. 1990. vol. 8, no. 4,

        Indo-Pacific reef corals to elevated temperature.

...then check their references, etc.  There are probably some newer
references, too.
