Results reveal how large-scale ocean-climate interactions affect reef ecosystems thousands of kilometers away and provide a valuable framework for identifying reefs that may benefit from such biophysical linkages during future bleaching events.

To better understand vertical thermal structure of reefs at depth and identify predictors of mass bleaching events, we used long-term in situ temperature data collected at multiple reefs and depths around the island of Tutuila in American Samoa.
