Today's Atmospheric/Ocean Weather

Morning

Evening

ATMOSPHERE -- Another wonderful day. Winds are from the west, but so minute that they should not impact the downwelling in progress. High temperatures should be around 80 while the low was about 69F. This is, however, the calm before the storm. Saturday could be a VERY bad weather day..... (imagine Jaws theme music as you read this).

Plots of today's weather data from the Field Station are shown below.

Other Sites: Current NOAA marine forecast, The Weather Channel, Buoy Observations

OCEAN -- Did I mention that there was a downwelling in progress? No? Well there is, even though it is fairly weak. The CODAR surface current measurements are being dominated by tidal velocities rather than wind induced currents at this time (see Below). In other words, there isn't a heck of a lot happeng on the surface in terms of current speeds.
