Abstract: ortherly winds set up by synoptic conditions are persistent in the marine boundary layer (MBL) off the California coast from late spring through summer. Wind, pressure, and MBL height are modulated as the low-level flow ...

Abstract: se of an airborne platform to determine the dynamics of atmospheric motion has been ongoing for over three decades. Much of the effort has been centered on the determination of the horizontal pressure gradient force along ...

Abstract: ummertime low-level winds over the ocean adjacent to the California coast are typically from the north, roughly parallel to the coastline. Past Point Conception the flow often turns eastward, thereby generating cyclonic ...

Abstract: e a critical component of the Earth's coupled water and energy cycles. Poor understanding of cloud?radiation?dynamics feedbacks results in large uncertainties in forecasting human-induced climate changes. Better understanding ...
