Summary
DescriptionWater temperature off the California coastline.jpg
English: This image shows water temperature off the coast of California. Upwelling along the coast, occurring north of Point Conception (34.5 N), brings cooler water up to the surface. Because the strength of upwelling is not uniform along the coast, the extent of the cooler water also varies. Upwelled water moves offshore in filaments that often occur near points.
This image is in the public domain because it contains materials that originally came from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, taken or made as part of an employee's official duties.
