Rick ThomanSea surface temperatures relative to the 1991-2020 baseline around Alaska for the week ending October 17, 2025. Above normal over nearly the entire Bering Sea and northern Gulf of Alaska. North of the Bering Strait also above average except for areas with sea ice.

LichoSo apparently the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KesslerSyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#KesslerSyndrome</a> has already started. The amount of avoidance maneuvers grew 3x over the last 6 months, and the amount of junk in the orbit went up by 40% over the last 5 years.What now? It's hard to internalize that it's already here. It will be a quick ride from now. It goes exponential. Hug your GPS, satelite tv, the weather reports, the space photos. It's the end of the space age. We will be telling our grand children how cool it was. And maybe, if they are lucky, the moon will herd the debris into an orbital ring. It will be magnificent. What should we be doing to prepare for this?

Stu GottI tuned in to <a href="https://gott.social/tags/SST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SST</a> this afternoon using a nearby kiwisdr. A few minutes later I got distracted by a long running <a href="https://gott.social/tags/CW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CW</a> QSO going slightly faster than I could do sustained copy.For the heck of it I listened for a while. At first I could only pick random letters out of the stream. Eventually I started picking up short words. After a while I managed to start picking out longer words and even full phrases before losing the flick.Baby steps. Closest to head copy I've come so far.

Rick ThomanComparison of August 2025 and 2014 Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature departures from 1981-2010 baseline. This August, nearly the entire extratropical north Pacific was warmer than the baseline average. In August 2014, the east Pacific “blob” was a distinct feature with near to below normal temps in the central Pacific.

Rick ThomanThis is interesting: the difference in average sea surface temperature August 2025 compared to August 2024. The central and eastern Bering Sea warmer this year mostly because last August was very stormy. Southwest Chukchi Sea much warmer this year because last year there was persistent sea ice. Most of the Beaufort Sea cooler this August because there's more sea ice than August 2024. <a href="https://fediscience.org/@Climatologist49" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@Climatologist49</a> <a href="https://fediscience.org/@ZLabe" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@ZLabe</a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#akwx</a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Arctic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Arctic</a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/SST" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SST</a>
