Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2020
This is a comparison between the sea surface temperatures between the Bering Sea and the Labrador Sea. The October year over year sea surface temperature change over a 4 year.
The red color is a 3 standard deviations higher change. The comparison at the same latitude in the size of the anomaly in the Labrador Sea. The direct anthropogenic impact is obvious from the outfall of St Lawrence Seaway. There is no similar impact in the Bering Sea.
This series of sea surface images of the same area over the last 4 years. Maybe 2017 was a cooling the anomaly and 2018 is the continuation of a warming trend.

I thought that also, and there is the thermohaline current that comes up from the south and bounces off that ridge.

Re: Why is Bering Sea Surface Temperature Warmer?
It's cooling, but there are still areas that are warmer than 2017. 2017 must have been cooler than 2016.

Re: Why is Bering Sea Surface Temperature Warmer?
The Sunspot Weather Theory includes a statement that includes; "Ultraviolet radiation increases dramatically during high sunspot activity, which can have a large effect on the Earth's atmosphere." "The chances go up that frigid air dropping out of the Arctic, as it often does during winter, will get trapped in eastern North America or Europe and bring on harsh episodes
of shiver-inducing weather," said Matt Rogers, president of the Commodity Weather Group LLC. to Bloomberg. This image shows cooler sea surface temperatures at the mouth of the St. Lawrence Seaway this December.

Re: Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2019
It looks like the Bering Sea is cooling compared to January 2018 in the area north of Alaska. The Labrador Sea is warmer than last year and the relationship of the differentiation from month to month seems smaller.

Re: Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2019
The Bering Sea seems mostly cooler than last year. The Labrador Sea seems a little warmer. This snapshot was sensed before the January 28, 2019 polar vortex reached the U.S. East Coast.

Re: Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2019
This section seems to indicate that the last months polar vortex had little effect on the Labrador Sea,and areas of year over year warming restarted.

Re: Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2019
The Bering Sea is warming compared to last year and last month, The Labrador Sea is warming compared to last year and cooler than last month especially the area south of the Gulf of St. Lawrence

Re: Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2019
The rate of warming of the Bering Sea has tapered since April of 2018. The warming in the Labrador Sea is persistent east of the Hudson Bay, but south of the Gulf of St Lawrence it is dramatically cooler.

Re: Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2019
The rate of warming of the Bering Sea more wide spread since june of 2018. The warming in the Labrador Sea is persistent east of the Hudson Bay, and has expanded, doubled in size since May 2019. The cooling south of the Gulf of St Lawrence it is still cooler since 2018, but warmer than last month.

Re: Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2019
In central and northwestern Europe, records are shattered just about every year. Finland also is very warm at the moment. This week, in the Netherlands, temperatures rose to just over 39 degrees Celcius. Another record, it was. In large cities, it takes a long time to get rid of the heat. This means you sweat at night as well.
As people over here are not used to severe heat waves, many suffer. People over 60 are vulnarable in particular. However. A few years ago heat waves resulted in thousands of extra deaths. Today, this no longer is the case. The measures taken had an effect, that is.
As a result of more frequent heatwaves, international trade and, in particular, rising averages, tropical diseases entered most of southern and eastern Europe and large parts of central Europe. It is a problem that has been underestimated.
As a result of more, and longer, periods with high temperatures and little or no rain, water shortages have become more common. Although tropical downpours replaced long spells of moderate rain, water shortages are here to stay. Those who depend on a regular supply of water, like farmers, warn about the consequences.
Over here, climate change wasn't a result of a slow process. It suddenly started with unusual phenomena and they're still here. Extremes, in just about every season, have become more or less common. The problem is most countries in northwestern and central Europe are not prepared for what's about to follow.
It is to be expected that the consequences of climate change will hit the poor and the lower middle classes first and most. As they, at least in most of Europe, are no longer represented by Labour-like political parties, new parties came out of nowhere. Those running these parties, like 80 years ago, blame foreigners and the eternal enemy in times of peril, which was much appreciated by many voters. So much so, that they were willing to accept tax cuts for the wealthy and a complete dismissal of what is now known as climate change. It didn't help.
Finding an adequate answer to climate change all over the planet will be a, ehhh, challenge. My guess for now is the road to a new balance will be long, rough and rocky. It will be a costly affair and those supporting these new parties will, unfortunately, suffer most, no matter what. Nothing new there.

Re: Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2019
Looks like we have the data stream is ticking again. No explanation for the glitch. The public archive still missing some images.
Looks like the Bearing Sea is starting a cool down, The Labrador Sea is still warm. There looks to be some sort of flip flop between the Bearing Sea and Labrador Sea annual warming and cooling. One year the Labrador Sea is cooler the next year the Bearing Sea is relatively cooler.

Re: Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2019
The definitely seems to be some bifurcation in the Arctic sea warming scenario. It looks like the Bearing Sea is cooling off faster than the Labrador Sea. October is the index month in this database.

Apparently the the Arctic is responding to the Aphelion Distance
Your assumptions for 2025 resultant "cooling" (or global temps in general) based on this graph of Aphelion Distance at such time?

My hypothesis is that the portion of global warming that is not anthropogenic is related to the size and distance of the sun in the northern hemisphere summer, because of the amount of land mass in the northern hemisphere is greater and that in the summer. Milutin Milankovitch theory states that the major ice ages were a function of the elongation of the Earth's orbit. This elongation happens every other year to a lesser degree. The size of the Sun's corona expands and contracts every solar cycle to varying degrees. Solar cycle 24 has been runt compared to 23. Now at the end of that cycle the Sun is about as small as it gets. That being said the retained heat from previous years will not allow for substantial relief. I believe that a factor in the super el nino (2014-2016) that beefed up the issue was by the above mentioned oscillation skipping a year, and there are still repercussions from that event. There were 2 consecutive years where the Sun's aphelion distance were closer to the earth.
I expect some hiatus from warming this winter rather than a global cooling.

Re: Bering Sea Surface Temperature 2019
it is obvious that the Labrador Sea is significantly warmer than last year and the coverage of the difference is larger than last month. "Arctic sea ice extent averaged for October 2019 was 5.66 million square kilometers (2.19 million square miles), the lowest in the 41-year continuous satellite record." according to Artic Sea Ice News and Analysis 11/06/2019
