Same-reef case studies. a Temperature time series taken from the wave-exposed (blue) and wave-protected (red) edges of the Tahala reef platform in the Red Sea, which are separated by ~200 m. The percentage of observed mortality, which was associated with the bleaching event in September 2010^46,84, is indicated for each corresponding platform edge. c 2-week low-pass filtered time series of the raw Tahala temperature data, with the Maximum Monthly Mean (MMM) temperature calculated using the in situ data for each time series. e 33-h high-pass filtered time series of the raw Tahala temperature data, with a histogram of the Daily Temperature Range (DTR) values for each time series. b, d, f Analogous versions of a, c, and e, respectively, but for the Nelly Bay reef flat (red) and reef slope (blue) habitats in the Great Barrier Reef, separated by ~122 m. Bleaching prevalence as proportions of belt transects⁵⁶ are also indicated in b. The gray bars highlight the approximate periods of reported bleaching events
