MENLO PARK, Calif. — Fog is more than just nature’s air conditioning keeping Bay Area residents cool while others in California bake in the summer’s heat; it is also extremely valuable for the local economy for everything from wine production to tourism. This Thursday, USGS Physical Scientist Alicia Torregrosa will tell us about the importance of coastal fog to animals and people and how it helps to maintain a vibrant ecosystem that benefits all living things in the area. She will also answer age old questions such as: is July the foggiest month? How do ocean conditions from Tahiti to Alaska, change summertime fog for northern California? We will also hear how USGS scientists are using new analyses and satellite sensors to understand the dynamics of fog. Find out where the foggiest place in the San Francisco Bay Area actually is and so much more!
