Pacific West Coast Ocean Warmer

Hi Lloyd, warm ocean down there! But same up here in BC.  Droughts in the rainforest, this year’s salmon in big trouble.

Readers of your blog can see the ever-changing blob for themselves here:

Drag the view you like and click anywhere to get a reading of sea surface temperature anomaly.  Click on “earth” to get full menus – wind mapping at any elevation too, very cool.

I’ve been tracking this slow-moving ocean heater for months, there were some +5.3C hotspots out there last week.

About Lloyd Kahn

Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include Shelter, Shelter II (1978), Home Work (2004), Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008), Tiny Homes (2012), and Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers.
