  • Damaging Downslope Wind Events in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California
    DAMAGING DOWNSLOPE WIND EVENTS IN THE SAN GABRIEL VALLEY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SCOTT SUKUP NOAA/NWS, Oxnard, California 1. Introduction The complex terrain of southern California (Fig. 1) poses a number of forecast challenges for various types of wind events that impact the region. For example, there are the well documented “sundowner” winds along the Santa Ynez Range of Santa Barbara County (Ryan 1996). There are also the infamous and heavily researched Santa Ana winds that can fuel large wildfires throughout much of southern California (Raphael 2003). Another type of wind event that is less well-known is the “Palmdale Wave”, which affects the Antelope Valley in Los Angeles (LA) County (Fig. 2), and is associated with strong south or southwest flow over the San Gabriel Mountains (Kaplan and Thompson 2005). The San Gabriel Mountains (SGM) also play an important role in damaging northerly wind events that impact the San Gabriel Valley (SGV) and eastern portions of the San Fernando Valley (SFV) (Fig. 2). Like the “Palmdale Wave”, there is little research on this last type of wind event and thus it is the focus of this paper. The motivation for this paper largely comes from an extreme northerly wind event that brought widespread damage across much of the SGV and eastern portions of the SFV from the late evening hours on 30 November 2011 through the early morning hours on 1 December 2011 (Fig. 3). Some of the highlights of this event include: 13 Proclamations of Local Emergency; 350,000 residents in the SGV losing power, some for over a week; an estimated $40 million in damages; a ground-stop and multiple power outages at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) that resulted in 23 flights being diverted to Ontario International Airport (ONT).
