Aircraft Measurements and Numerical Simulations of an Expansion Fan off the California Coast

Source: Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology:;2016:;volume( 055 ):;issue: 009:;page 2053

Author(s): Parish, Thomas R.; Rahn, David A.; Leon, David C.

Publisher: American Meteorological Society

Abstract: ountains along the California coastline play a critical role in the dynamics of marine atmospheric boundary layer (MBL) airflow in the vicinity of the shoreline. Large changes in the MBL topology have been known to occur ...
