A synoptic analysis of the temperature field off the California
coast for the surface, 10-meter and 100-meter level is provided for
the years 1958-1959. Data used are from CCOFI cruises.
These analyses are shown to be adequate for detecting probable
upwelling areas. The areas of persistent upwelling are at 29 N, 31 N
and 33 N adjacent to the California coast. There appears to be a
preference for a steep gradient of the sea floor in these areas. The
onset and decay of upwelling appears to depend on latitudinal position
of the 11 C isotherm at 100 meters.
