The third global bleaching event
node
The longest and, to that date, most widespread global bleaching event, running across three consecutive northern summers and declared by NOAA during its course. It differed from 1998 and 2010 in duration rather than only in extent: reefs that bleached in one year were still under thermal stress in the next, so the recovery interval within the event was itself near zero.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
