In order to resolve issues of spatial autocorrelation, the surveys were grouped into distinct clusters with a spatial resolution of 1km. This dataset contains environmental data paired for all 2015 observations, used to analyze drivers of the coral bleaching event. This dataset also contains weights assigned to each observation. Data collected during the 2015 bleaching event in the Hawaiian Archipelago was analyzed to understand drivers of bleaching.
