Airborne Measurements of Coastal Jet Transition around Point Conception, California
Low-level winds along the Californian coast during spring and early summer are typically strong and contained within the cool, well-mixed marine boundary layer (MBL). A temperature inversion separates the MBL from the warmer free troposphere. This setup is often represented by a two-layer shallow-water system with a lateral boundary. Near a prominent point such as Point Conception, California, ...
متن کاملCoastal Jet Adjustment Near Point Conception, California, with Opposing Wind in the Bight
Typical spring and summer conditions offshore of California consist of strong northerly low-level wind contained within the cool, well-mixedmarine boundary layer (MBL) that is separated from the warm and dry free troposphere by a sharp temperature inversion. This system is often represented by two layers constrained by a lateral boundary. Aircraft measurements near Point Conception, California,...
متن کاملLimits to gene flow in marine animals with planktonic larvae: models of Littorina species around Point Conception, California
Simulation models examined the process of gene flow in marine animals with planktonic larvae, and three factors that may influence it: ocean currents, planktonic period and spawning season. To focus on a realistic example, the models were based on measured ocean currents around Point Conception in southern California and the life histories of two intertidal gastropods, Littorina scutulata and L...
متن کاملAirborne flux measurements of biogenic isoprene over California
Biogenic isoprene fluxes were measured onboard the CIRPAS Twin Otter aircraft as part of the California Airborne Biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) Emission Research in Natural Ecosystem Transects (CABERNET) campaign during June 2011. The airborne virtual disjunct eddy covariance (AvDEC) approach used measurements from a proton transfer reaction mass spectrometer (PTR–MS) and a wind rado...
متن کاملMeasurements of size-resolved hygroscopicity in the California coastal zone
Aircraft – based measurements of aerosol hygroscopicity, both in the form of size-resolved, diameter growth factors and in the dependence of particle light scattering on relative humidity, are presented for the marine boundary layer of the southern California coastal zone. The chemical composition of the aerosol is collated with the hygroscop-5 icity data, both to examine the nature of aerosol ...
