Today's Atmospheric/Ocean Weather

Morning

 ATMOSPHERE --- Yuk! We were on the southern side of a low pressure system for most of the day today which brought bands of intermittent showers through. Southerly winds dominated the day and temperatures were about 70 all day long. Maybe tomorrow will be a brighter day...

OCEAN -- The southerly winds over the last 36 hours have caused an upwelling to surface north of Barnegat Light (North of the bend in the New Jersey coastline). The Node data shows the cold/high saline bottom water is again moving onshore. This movment began to change late in the day however, as the easterly component of winds increased, pushing the surface water back onshore (shown in afternoon CODAR). The sea state was a bit choppy with wave heights at 4 to 5 feet.
