Notes
  • Northern California was chosen as the study site because of the presence of cold, upwelled water along the coast during the summer and its possible effect on the regional air flow. Furthermore, very few people have examined mesoscale surface air flow in this region of complex topography. The area around Eureka is generally quite flat while to the south several transverse ridge systems lie adjacent to the coast. This change in topography should logically modify the basic land-sea breeze system. A better understanding of the modification brought about by the topography on the air circulation would aid numerical modelers and also help researchers interpret the effect of climate on the vegetational patterns in a coastal area.
