Fog Related to Santa Ana Conditions in Southern California. Multisensor Observations of Fog and Mesoscale Data Provide Evidence that the Formation and Movement of the Fog is Controlled by Mesoscale Low-Pressure Eddies and Troughs.
Abstract
Many fog events have been observed at the coast of San Diego during the weakening of Santa Ana conditions in Southern California. The events have been observed by remote (eg, FM-CW radar and acoustic echosounder) and direct (eg, radiosonde) atmospheric sensors. The sensor observations and analysis of mesoscale data provide evidence that the formation and movement of Santa Ana-related fog is controlled by mesoscale low-pressure eddies and troughs. The fog is always capped by an inversion. (Author)
