An instrumented C-130 aircraft flew over water around Point Sur, California, on 17 June 1996 under strong northwest wind conditions and a strong marine inversion. Patterns were flown from 30- to 1200-m elevation and up to 120 km offshore. Nearshore, marine air accelerated past Point Sur, reaching a surface maximum of 17 m s21 in the lee. Winds measured over water in and above the marine layer were alongshore with no significant cross-shore flow. This project was supported by the National Science Foundation Grant ATM 95-26138 and the Office of Naval Research Grant N00014-19-1-0232. One of the authors (WTT) was supported by Program Element 0601153N, Office of Naval Research. We are especially grateful to the NCAR C-130 crew for their support. |
