Dynamics of wind-driven upwelling and relaxation between Monterry Bay and Point Arena : local-, regional-, and gyre-scale controls

Creator:

Pringle, James M. and Dever, Edward P.

Abstract:

In north and central California, equatorward winds drive equatorward flows and the upwelling of cold dense water over the shelf during the midspring and summer upwelling season. When the winds temporarily weaken, the upwelling flows between Point Reyes and Point Arena ‘‘relax,’’ becoming strongly poleward over the shelf. Analytical and...

Evaluation of the aerosol indirect effect in marine stratocumulus clouds : droplet number, size, liquid water path, and radiative impact

Creator:

Twohy, Cynthia, Petters, Markus D., Snider, Jefferson R., Stevens, Bjorn, Tahnk, William, Wetzel, Melanie, Russell, Lynn, and Burnet, Frédéric

Abstract:

Data from nine stratocumulus clouds in the northeastern Pacific Ocean were analyzed to determine the effect of aerosol particles on cloud microphysical and radiative properties. Seven nighttime and two daytime cases were included. The number concentration of below-cloud aerosol particles (> 0.10 μm diameter) was highly correlated with cloud droplet...
