HotSpot Notes February 2, 1999
Western Hemisphere:
NOAA satellite data show a large HotSpot appears to be
developing, WNW-ESE, south of Tahiti. Compare 2 Feb 99
with 2 Feb 98 [El Nino year]!
Eastern Hemisphere:
The large HotSpot around the central Great Barrier Reef
continues to grow as winds continue to be light and sunshine
abundant. We have just received reports of slight bleaching in
the past few weeks in the vicinity of Lizard Island [near Cairns]
"very minor degree of bleaching in some pocilloporids - patchy
and only in some colonies".
