Starting 28 April 2000, a complete set of meteorolgy
measurments are continuously being measured at a site just seaward of
the Marine Operations Building, inshore of the MISO array. The
observations include 10m height wind speed and direction, air
temperature and dew point, short and long wave incident radiation,
barometric pressure and rain fall rates. The instruments are
maintained by Dick Lind, of the
Meteorology Department at the
Naval Postgraduate School.
An
animation of wind vectors from sensors deployed in Montery Bay and along
the shoreline is also available.
A hourly updated, one day timeseries of these observations can be seen below.
Note that the latest conditions are on the left side of the plot.
The times shown are in Universal Standard Time, so local time is
UTC - 7 hours during daylight savings time, and UTC + 8 during
Pacific Standard Time. An ascii listing of the last 24 hour observations can be
found at
Del Monte Beach Met Listing .
Other local met site timeseries can be found at
Monterey Bay Aquarium Meteorology
and
Monterey Airport Meteorology web sites.
