Evolution and extension of the Santa Ana winds of February 2002 over the ocean, off California and the Baja California Peninsula

The evolution and extension of Santa Ana winds over the Pacific Ocean, off the coasts of California and the Baja California Peninsula, is documented from QuikScat satellite observations. The typical wind pattern in this region is towards the southeast, but between 9 and 12 February 2002 it was modif...

The typical wind pattern in this region is towards the southeast, but between 9 and 12 February 2002 it was modified by Santa Ana winds, changing in direction towards the south, southwest and west. The changes were notable at first in southern California, but the largest indices of variation occurred between 26ºN and 28ºN off the Baja California Peninsula, with maxima in the Gulf of California, mainly in the northern part. The maximum extension of the winds to the west of the coast was on 11 February, reaching 32ºN and 125ºW, or ~700 km; however, towards the southwest the winds extended to 25ºN and 124ºW, or ~1000 km. The topography of the peninsula plays an important role in controlling the winds passing from the Gulf of California to the Pacific, causing plumes of sand and dust in several locations over the ocean. Se documenta la evolución y el área de influencia de los vientos Santa Ana sobre el Océano Pacífico frente a las costas de California y de la Península de Baja California a partir de observaciones del satélite QuikScat. El patrón de vientos que típicamente se dirige hacia el sureste en esta región, fue modificado por los vientos Santa Ana al cambiar su dirección hacia el sur, suroeste y oeste entre el 9 y 12 de febrero de 2002. Los cambios fueron inicialmente notables al sur de California, pero los mayores índices de variación fueron entre los 26ºN y 28ºN frente a la península, con máximos dentro del Golfo de California, sobre todo en la parte norte. Su máxima extensión con dirección al oeste desde la costa fue el 11 de febrero, cuando alcanzó los 32ºN y 125ºW ó ~700 km; sin embargo, se extendieron hacia el suroeste aproximadamente hasta los 25ºN y 124ºW ó ~1000 km. Se observó que la orografía de la Península de Baja California tiene un papel importante en el control del paso de los vientos del Golfo de California hacia el Pacífico, causando en varias localidades lengüetas de arena y polvo sobre el océano.
