Abstract
A coastally trapped disturbance (CTD), characterized by southerly flow at the surface on 10â 11 June 1994,
was observed from the California Bight to Bodega Bay during a field experiment along the California coast.
(Northâ south approximates the coast-parallel direction.) Data from a special observational network of wind
profilers, radio acoustic sounding systems, special surface data, balloon ascents, and a research aircraft were
used with satellite and synoptic data to explore both the CTD structure and the regional-scale changes before
the event.
