Analysis and Interpretation of the Meteorology of the 1988 Coastal Transition Zone Experiment

Abstract

Coastal Transition Zone (CTZ) Experiments were conducted off the California Coast near Pt. Arena by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). One of the basic goals of these experiments was : 'To understand the role of the atmosphere in driving coastal ocean currents and to learn of possible ocean- atmosphere feedback.' This principal investigator acted as a focal person for the meteorology of the CTZ experiments providing meteorological expertise to the other investigators. Our basic objectives were: (1) Documentation of the meteorological conditions during each field study; and (2) Data reduction plus analysis-synthesis of the meteorological conditions for each field study.
