Figure 5

Maximum subsurface heat stress estimates for all 1,453 heating events at depth for all six regions and 457 sites across the western and central Pacific (n = 1,453). The blue line represents the linear mixed model regression fit and the blue dashed lines bound the standard error of the model fit showing no significant association between depth and observed heat stress events (NS, p > 0.05). Vertical light gray lines show DHW values reflecting likely bleaching (DHW = 4 °C-weeks, dashed) and likely widespread bleaching and significant mortality (DHW = 8 °C-weeks, solid). Fig. S10 and Table S3 shows statistical summary from linear mixed model of relationship between Maximum DHW and depth during major warming events. The six regions are identified with different symbols and colors as defined in the legend. Table S3 shows details on statistics underlying data.
