  • Sundowner Winds
    SUNDOWNER WINDS A Report on Significant Warming Events Occurring in Santa Barbara, California. Gary Ryan Weather Service Office Santa Maria, CA July 1991 SUNDOWNER WINDS. A REPORT ON SIGNIFICANT WARMING EVENTS OCCURING IN SANTA BARBARA, CALIFORNIA. INTRODUCTION. Along the Pacific coastline, beneath the ridges and canyons of the Santa Ynez Mountains, Santa Barbara, California enjoys some of the earth’s most favorable weather. Mediterranean in classification, the climate is vintage southern California: an average high temperature of about 70 degrees year round, a predominately winter season rainfall of about 16 inches a year and, generally, a light and variable wind pattern. The infamous Santa Ana winds which occasionally ravage the counties of Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange to the south leave the Santa Barbara area virtually untouched. The only disturbance to this idyllic picture comes when downslope winds pour across passes in the Santa Ynez Range, descending onto the Santa Barbara littoral. These winds are “sundowners,” Santa Barbara’s special version of the Santa Ana regime. Sundowners frequently occur in the late afternoon or evening hours – hence the name. Light sundowners create irregular rises in temperature downtown with gentle offshore breezes. Stronger sundowners, occurring two or three times a year, can create sharp temperature rises, local gale force winds, and significant weather-related problems. Rarely, probably about a half dozen times in a century, an “explosive” sundowner occurs. These extremely strong and hot winds present a dangerous weather situation. In these events, super heated air from the Santa Ynez Valley bursts across the Santa Ynez Mountains and onto the coastal plain, reaching gale force or higher speeds within the city.

  • Wildlife Biological Assessment/Evaluation for Santa Barbara Front Country DFPZ, Santa Barbara Ranger District, Los Padres National Forest
    Wildlife Biological Assessment/Evaluation for Santa Barbara Front Country DFPZ, Santa Barbara Ranger District, Los Padres National Forest Prepared by: Date: 31 August 2015 Patrick Lieske, Asst. Forest Biologist Los Padres National Forest 1 1.0 Background Over the past half century, urban development has expanded into the chaparral and forested environments on the Santa Barbara Front. This expansion has placed residences adjacent to highly flammable wildland fuels that typically burn with high intensity and can pose a threat to both structures and residents alike. Much of this expansion of urban development has occurred next to National Forest boundaries without the adoption of sufficient provisions for the establishment of defensible space needed in the event of wildfire. The Santa Barbara Mountain Communities Defense Zone Project would be located on the Santa Barbara Ranger District, Los Padres National Forest. We propose several activities covering a total of approximately 418 acres to directly improve the ability of the communities of Painted Cave, San Marcos Trout Club, Haney Tract, Rosario Park, Refugio, and Gaviota to address this threat. This project would create or expand on existing fuel breaks, reducing the amount of standing vegetation to improve the ability of the communities to strategically mitigate the potential impacts of wildfire. Project Description The proposed project would be located on the Santa Barbara Front in the Santa Ynez Mountains. This area is north of U.S. Highway 101, in Santa Barbara County, California. It overlooks the Pacific Ocean between Santa Barbara, and Gaviota, California (Figure 1). Historic Condition The proposed project area has a Mediterranean climate and its chaparral ecosystem is considered to be one of the most fire hazardous landscapes in North America.

  • Northern Goshawk: First Nesting Record for Santa Barbara County and Current Breeding Status in Southern California Peter A
    NORTHERN GOSHAWK: FIRST NESTING RECORD FOR SANTA BARBARA COUNTY AND CURRENT BREEDING STATUS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PETER A. GAEDE, 918 Fellowship Road, Santa Barbara, California 93109; [email protected] DAVID KISNER, URS Corporation, 2625 South Miller Street, Santa Maria, California 93455 HUGH RANSON, 1918 Robbins Street, Santa Barbara, California 93101 ABSTRACT: The Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) is extremely rare and apparently irregular as a breeding species in southern California. Nesting has been confirmed only 13 times, twice at Mt. Abel, Kern County (1989 and 1990), five times at Mt. Pinos, Kern/Ventura counties (1904, 1960, 1989, 1990, and 2009), once in Ventura County (1919), once in the San Bernardino Mts., San Bernardino County (2004), three times in the Cuyamaca Mts., San Diego County (1937–1938), and once at Big Pine Mt., Santa Barbara County (2009). The nest at Big Pine Mt. was notable not only in being the first for Santa Barbara Co. but in being built in an exposed situation in a dead burned tree in partially burned forest. On 13 June 2009, we discovered an active Northern Goshawk (Accipiter gentilis) nest (Figure 1) in the San Rafael Range near Big Pine Mountain. This remote portion of the San Rafael Range supports an “island” of mon- tane coniferous forest that has been the subject of a long-term study of breeding birds. The documentation of this nest, which fledged two young, is the first confirmed record of breeding of the Northern Goshawk for this mountain range and for Santa Barbara County. The Northern Goshawk is an elusive species that occurs in southern California as a casual fall and winter visitor and as an extremely rare resident and breeder in some of the higher mountain ranges.

  • The Santa Ynez River
    CALIFORNIA'S MOUNTAINS AND TRAILS OF SANTA BARBARA COUNTY by Dick Smith and Frank Vein Schaick McNally and Loftin, Publishers Santo Barbaro AUTHOR'S NOTE While Southern California's urban areas are constantly changing, the mountains and their network of trails re­ tain their familiar features year after year. There has been one significant change in Santa Bar­ bara's beautiful back country since this book was first published six years ago: the classification of "wilderness" that has been placed on 143,000 acres of the San Rafael range and the adjoining slopes of the Sierra Madre moun­ tains. Several years of struggle by the U.S. Forest Service and local and national conservationists helped bring this bit of land under the protection of the 1964 Wilderness Act. A special bill was passed in Congress and was signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1968. Most of the land comprising this new Wilderness Area is shown as a primitive area on the maps in this book.

Stoughton Analysis by: Deveree Kopp February 15, 2013 Deveree Kopp, Botanist Date San Bernardino National Forest Prepared by: Deveree Kopp and Robin Eliason, San Bernardino National Forest Input Provided by: Janet Nickerman, Angeles National Forest Kirsten Winter, Cleveland National Forest Lloyd Simpson, Los Padres National Forest Scott Eliason, San Bernardino National Forest Kevin Cooper, Los Padres National Forest SUMMARY This report addresses the potential effects of botanical resources that are known or likely to occur in the areas affected by the proposed action. It also includes the plant and animal nonnative species risk assessment. The Forest Service proposes to amend the 2006 Land Management Plans (LMPs) in a limited in scope that is designed to address the terms of a settlement agreement. This action is needed to respond to the terms of the Settlement Agreement between the Forest Service, State of California, and other settlement parties. The proposed action is to modify the existing land use zones in thirty-five Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRAs) to include more Back Country Non-Motorized (BCNM) and Recommended Wilderness (RW) areas on the Angeles, Cleveland, Los Padres, and San Bernardino National Forests. The analysis addresses two alternatives (Alternatives 2 and 3) amend LMP land use zone allocations for thirty-five IRAs in addition to taking no action (Alternative 1).
