- Diurnal cycles of cloud and rainfall over North-East Queensland during the coral bleaching season (2026) · Weather and Climate Dynamics · doi
There is a need to understand the complex relationships between clouds, rainfall, and coral bleaching. The study aims to address this gap by characterizing the cloud and rainfall diurnal cycles over north-east Queensland during the coral bleaching season.

The study identifies a research gap in the understanding of the impact of climate change-related disturbances on coral reefs. The study notes that there is a need for further research on the vulnerability of elkhorn coral to thermal-induced bleaching mortality and/or storm-induced mortality due to colony dislodgement.

The factors contributing to the variation in coral bleaching across different regions are not well understood. There is a need for studies that investigate the relationships between thermal anomalies, reef characteristics, and bleaching intensity. The study aims to address this gap by examining the factors contributing to the variation in bleaching intensity across India's coral reefs.
