Today's Atmospheric/Ocean Weather

Morning

Evening

ATMOSPHERE --- Winds shifted to southwesterly today, although they were very weak. The Temps rose to almost 80 during the afternoon. And, the sun actually came out. Yes, for the first time in 4 days, we saw the sun.

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

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

OCEAN -- Waves heights were down to 1-2 feet in light winds. The inshore 16 kilometers of the southern lines were well mixed. At the 16 kilometer distance, there was a definite foam line which matched up perfectly with CODAR, Salinity, ADCP and Fluorescence frontal boundaries.
