Figure 2. Temperature distributions, exposure, and coral resistance. The (a) density of temperature distributions of the 27 sites in and 199 sites outside the Coral Triangle based on monthly temperatures from 1985 to 2015. (b) Resistance as a function of the cumulative thermal anomaly (CTA) exposure model, and (c) resistance as a function of the multivariate climate exposure (CE) model in and outside the Coral Triangle. MMM = mean monthly summer maximum temperatures and CTA = cumulative thermal anomalies based on the cumulative degree heating months.
