Daily variability of California coastal low cloudiness: A balancing act between stability and subsidence

Daily variability of California coastal low cloudiness: A balancing act between stability and subsidence

Abstract We examine mechanisms driving daily variability of summer coastal low cloudiness (CLC) along the California coast. Daily CLC is derived from a satellite record from 1996 to 2014. Atmospheric rather than oceanic processes are mostly responsible for daily fluctuations in vertical stability th...
