AquariusRadar Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 The aqueduct idea from the wet Gulf Coast to the desert Southwest is a popular idea. I wonder if any politician will grab the idea and put it into some infrastructure legislation?

Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Southern half of Santa Monica Bay, yet again, seems to have a river of cloud pointed right at it.

Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 Last week has been pretty good for clearing even in the South Bay trouble zone. Interesting observation is we consistently get some return of the ML around 4pm as an “arm” of cloud wraps around Catalina, but since it’s shallow, it doesn’t hang around all night.

Anti Marine Layer Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 It's the usual Monterey Bay Area slow clearing today, as the curvature of the coast seems to pull the sea breeze in stronger.

AquariusRadar Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 All the towns in the flash flood prone area of the southwest should have an aquariusradar to avert the flash flooding as occurred in Flagstaff, Arizona today. Before the thunderstorms of the summer monsoon create a flash flood situation, someone at the local fire department puts on a new hat and operates the aquariusradar. It might be located on the top of the fire station. When a big storm approaches the head of the dry gully and potentially raging river of mud that runs through the town center, the fireman turns on the radar ( microwave generator )and uses his computer app to point the radar at the base of the approaching CN thunderstorm. The microwave energy slows the growth and rainfall from the storm. Local rainfall is unchanged as nearby CN cells collect the moisture that the targeted storm would have used to create flood. The rainfall is spread out over a greater area. We have the technology to do this and the many other uses I have described; for example snowpack enhancement in the winter months.

Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 Dew points noticeably lower today. The moist southerly flow that’s dominated the last 2 weeks shifted to a drier westerly one. I can clearly see Catalina from Hermosa Beach, something rarely possible in the summer months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 A striking duality here. SoCal waters near or even a hair above normal for mid July, while farther north it’s iced over even by their standards. Look at all that pink and purple.

Pn1ct0g3n Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Torrance is consistently breezier than other spots in the South Bay, probably because it lies so close to the coastal promontory of PV. It’s barely lunchtime and that flag is stiff as a board. Often gets to almost 20mph sustained there by late afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
