Abstract
A 2-dimensional variational method is used to blend the satellite scatterometer measured (QuikSCAT) and regional mesoscale atmospheric model simulated (COAMPS) surface vector winds for coastal central California. The approach is distinct from existing methods in that it considers errors from both measurements and models. When compared with independent in situ observations, the blended wind product shows consistently higher correlation and smaller RMS errors than QuikSCAT or COAMPS winds. The proposed algorithm can be implemented over any part of the world ocean. It should be a valuable tool for describing small-scale atmospheric processes in coastal zones and for forcing highresolution coastal ocean models.

    Oceanic Variability Off the Central California Coast 

    Breaker, Laurence C.; Mooers, Christopher N.K. (1986);
    Mesoscale variability off the Central California coast is strongly influenced by coastal upwelling and related processes. Off Point Sur, there is significant space-time variability in oceanic properties over periods of ...

    The space-time scales of variability in oceanic thermal structure off the Central California coast 

    Breaker, Laurence Coates (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1983-12);
    The space-time scales of variability in ocean thermal structure are examined off the Central California coast. In the active coastal upwelling regime off Pr. Sur, there was an equatorward surface jet 15 to 40 km offshore, ...
