INFLUENCE OF OCEAN CURRENTS ON COASTAL CLIMATE

The five predominant subtropical high pressure cells are shown in Figure 8.7  .  Download it, draw in the features as described, scan it as a PDF and upload it.

16. Draw the location of following ocean currents on Figure 8.7 using color-coded arrows that show the path of the movement of the currents. Clearly label them with their names; color code them blue for cold currents and red for warm. Consult an atlas or your textbook (0.1 pts. each).

17. Draw arrows showing the air/wind circulation around the subtropical highs on Figure 8.7. (0.1 pts. each) Note that these cells are isobars. Check your notes from Lecture 4 for this.

Homework Question:

How does the stability of the air help to explain the dry conditions at San Diego and precipitation at Jacksonville?  Use the information from the previous four questions (everything on San Diego and Jacksonville) to create an answer.

Your Answer:

It is because cold current flows along the coast of California near san Diego l. The air temperature is cold and it is stable. Current in Florida is not as different from san Diego  it is cold and the wind temperature is cold and it is unstable.
