Research and findings
ACCORD: satellite environmental conditions around Kep
Report 2022; multiple satellite time series, not 2022 field samples
Historical regional averages show cooler sea-surface temperatures around December–January and warmer conditions around April–May.
Copernicus Global Ocean Physics Reanalysis
From 1993; daily catalogue extent displayed through 23 June 2026 at review
Display queries are about 0.25° apart, sampling a native 1/12° global model. These are monthly model estimates, not field stations or present-day measurements.
Historical satellite conditions at Cambodian reef study locations
Satellite summaries January 2004–2014; reef fieldwork separately 2021–2023
The codebook describes January 2004–2014 summaries of temperature, chlorophyll and light attenuation at 90 unique study coordinates.
NOAA Coral Reef Watch
v3.1 daily series from 1985
These are approximately 5 km satellite-product cells, not coral surveys. Heat exposure does not establish observed bleaching.
SEAFDEC 2018 Gulf of Thailand fisheries and environment cruise
2018 cruise; Cambodian leg dates require station-level verification
Stations 50–73 were assigned to the Cambodian leg of the cruise, 26 September–16 October 2018.
Coverage and gaps
6 catalogue sources; 6 have partial findings summaries. Absence from the map does not establish absence of habitat, species or research.
Available mapped evidence: 14 sampling records, 1576 model/grid features, 2 approximate study areas.
