Description
This study of Santa Ana winds is made with the object to view of enabling forecasters to tell when high velocity NE winds will affect San Pedro Harbor. Navy aerologists have been able to give warning of the development of this condition in all cases, but have found that in many cases when this condition was forecast high winds often appear aloft but do not reach the surface. Some conclusions have been reached during this study which it is hoped will prove an aid to forecasting.
