Unit 6;Santa Ana;;Another popular misconception that the winds are hot owing to their desert origin. Actually, the Santa Anas develop when the desert is relatively cold, and are thus most common during the cool season stretching from October through March. High pressure builds over the Great Basin (e.g., Nevada) and the cold air there begins to sink. However, this air is forced downslope which compresses and warms it at a rate of about 10C per kilometer (29F per mile) of descent. As its temperature rises, the relative humidity drops; the air starts out dry and winds up at sea level much drier still. The air picks up speed as it is channeled through passes and canyons. Santa Anas can cause a great deal of damage. The fast, hot winds cause vegetation to dry out, increasing the danger of wildfire. Once the fires start, the winds fan the flames and hasten their spread. The winds create turbulence and establish vertical wind shear (in which winds exhibit substantial change in speed and/or direction with height), both posing aviation hazards. The winds tend to make for choppy surf conditions in the Southern California Bight, and often batter the north coast of Santa Catalina Island, including Avalon cove and the islands airport. This page demonstrates the development of a Santa Ana event in the Los Angeles basin. This simulation was made using the MM5 mesoscale model using initial and boundary information from the NCEP Eta (now called NAM) model. The model, employing three nested domains, having 54, 18 and 6 km resolutions, was started at 12Z (4 AM PST) on November 3rd, 2002, and integrated for 54 hours. A companion page describing the warm season sea and land breeze can be found here.
