SP-399 SKYLAB EREP Investigations
Summary
FIGURE 6-15.-The eddy pattern at Point
Arena (northern California) is visible as longshore currents move
suspended sediments in a southerly direction. The presence of
offshore swirl and boundary patterns indicates a slow-moving
California Current. Upwellings (U) and current directions (arrows)
are indicated. Five fingers, or scalloped patterns, are present
offshore on this color photograph (SL4-92-333).
