The Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO), the dominant year-round pattern of monthly North
Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) variability, is an important target of ongoing research …

Large‐scale patterns of positive temperature anomalies persisted throughout the surface
waters of the North Pacific Ocean during 2014–2015. In the Southern California Current …

Abstract The summertime California Current System (CCS) is characterized by energetic
mesoscale eddies, whose sea surface temperature (SST) and surface current can …

Research on heatwaves has gained significant impetus over the past decade due to a
warming planet and rapid 21st century urbanization. This study examines driving factors …

Abstract We downscale Santa Ana winds (SAWs) from eight global climate models (GCMs)
and validate key aspects of their climatology over the historical period. We then assess SAW …

Subtropical marine stratus clouds regulate coastal and global climate, but future trends in
these clouds are uncertain. In coastal Southern California (CSCA), interannual variations in …

Fog and low cloud cover (FLCC) strongly influences the water, energy, and nutrient flux of
coastal ecosystems. Easy‐to‐use FLCC data are needed to quantify the impacts of FLCC on …

A new satellite‐derived low cloud retrieval reveals rich spatial texture and coherent space‐
time propagation in summertime California coastal low cloudiness (CLC). Throughout the …

Fog drip is recognized as an important source of water for many ecosystems that often
harbor a disproportionate fraction of endemic species. Characterizing and quantifying the …
