[Abstract]

 The algorithm for detecting long-term variation of coral reef was developed from LANDSAT-TM images. The spatial and time domain anomaly of logarithm of pixel value is good for correction of air condition, sun angle, and tidal level change. The most weighty variation around Ishigakizima Island was related to the coral bleaching arose in 1998.
