Ed Wiebe<p>The minimum temperature at <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/UVic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UVic</span></a> this morning was 10.4&nbsp;°C. This is the first time since 2002 that I have observed a minimum above 10&nbsp;°C in March here. </p><p>The forecast looks promising for tomorrow and Wednesday, in terms of temperature.

Ed Wiebe<p>We're exploring dissolving CO2 into the ocean in our Climate Change lab today. Our ocean becomes more acidic, like the real one. The colour of the solution shows the pH. Blue is around 8, the pH of the tap water. Green is a bit less than 7, yellow is less than 6. In the third image I have exhaled into the bottle and sealed it. Then a gentle disturbance mixes the stagnant layer a bit, and we see the dissolved CO2 lowering the pH.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/UVic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UVic</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/acidification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>acidification</span></a></p>
