Tezopaco August 12 surge
Tezopaco was a inland observation site (about
100 km east of Guaymas) during the 1993 EMVER experiment. It was chosen
because it lies in relatively low(430 m asl) flattish terrain, along the
presumed inflow to the region of maximum convection observed in satellite
composites in NW Mexico. Tethered balloon soundings, a few radiosonde launches,
and many pibals were made over an approximately 2 month period.
Tethersonde profiles show the passage of a gulf
surge on August 12th; the major temperature profile changes occurred
in less than 2 hours.
