Quake warning or what? I forget what portends with these.

End of a tropical storm IIRC but there hasn't been one. A deep low in
the NW Pacific?

No deep lows in the N Pacific, in fact both oceans are very negative
with a low of 1004 and an high of 1014 in the EN Pacific and a series
of not very low Lows each side of the large High around Greenland.

Looks like there is a fair bit of volcanic activity "in the air".

Any storms in the North Pacific will take the detritus straight into
the Arctic. Detritus from the late 19th century indicates the ash was
rich in trace metals so there is the source of the rich marine life to
be found at the fishing grounds where the Arctic drains.

What explorers saw off Greenland: Haze and dust
"The sky was covered with thin veil of clouds, through which the
sun shone warmly, at times even scorchingly. From time to time this
veil of clouds, or haze, descended to the surface of the ice, and hid
the view over the expanse; but it was, remarkably enough, not wet, but
dry - yes, so dry that our wet clothes absolutely dried in it."
Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld, July 22, 1883
