Sea surface temperatures in the northern Bering Sea showing changes as sea ice melts. Eastern Norton has been open for a while now and is starting to heat up. Beyond the ice, most of the rest of the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska with near to above average SSTs for mid-May in NOAA data. #akwx #Arctic
