Fine Structure Measurement of Temperature and Moisture Over the Monterey Bay

Abstract

Temperature, pressure and moisture measurements were made from the surface to 2,000 feet over the Monterey Bay during several different synoptic conditions. Data collection was made from ground level and a helicopter; however, most of the data were collected from the helicopter due to the height limitation of the ground equipment. Cross sections of temperature and moisture were drawn over a wide range of fog conditions. The profiles were used in conjunction with the broad synoptic wind and visibility as a basis for the conclusions stated.
