Abstract: The authors have performed a numerical experiment using Mesoscale Model 5 (MM5) with a horizontal resolution of 9 km to simulate hourly atmospheric dynamics and thermodynamics along the U.S. California coast for all of ...

Abstract: A summer wind speed maximum extending more than 200 km occurs over water around Point Conception, California, the most extreme bend along the U.S. West Coast. The following several causes were investigated for this wind ...

Abstract: Over the eight years of expendable bathythermograph observations from merchant ship transits between San Francisco and Honolulu have been analyzed to determine the nature of subsurface temperature anomalies. The irregularly ...
