JUNE GLOOM AND THE MARINE LAYER

The club equipment at Diablo Peak, 2500' ft, on Santa Cruz Island is typically above the marine layer overcast. The marine layer and wind evolves in various patterns that may be observed by 15 photos taken 360 degrees every 10 minutes. The pictures are transmitted back on a UC link that will soon be replaced by a redundant 5.8 gHz SBARC link to our Mesa site. In addition to the Diablo web-cam we are looking forward to an additional camera mounted at the east end of Santa Rosa Island. This has been an expensive multi-year project privately funded from out-of-pocket expenses by key people in SBARC.
