Aronovitch U.S. Weather Bureau Airport Station Santa Catalina Island California * ABSTRACT A meteorological analysis of conditions during the severe Santa Ana of January 15. - 17, 1966 is given, with emphasis on the 500-mb flow. The gradient-wind equation defines the maximum contour curvature which a parcel of air can follow dynamically for a given wind speed. If this maximum is exceeded, the parcel trajectory may become anti­ cyclonic. This condition is related to the so-called "wet" Santa Ana. *Author presently associated with Fire-Weather Office, Olympia, Washington. - 1 - ANALYSIS OF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SANTA ANA OF JANUARY 15 - 17, 1966 I. INTRODUCTION On January 15, 1966, a violent Santa Ana windstorm unleashed its force upon the harbor city of Avalon, Santa Catalina Island, California. Twenty boats ranging from 18-foot outboards to 65-foot pleasure cruisers were damaged by this storm. Of these, 16 were completely demolished. The four remaining vessels were beached and suffered minor, moderate, or major damage. Ten persons were rescued from various vessels. Ten others were admitted to the hospital for treat­ ment. One person was drowned. One hundred sixty feet of pier and twenty-six feet of 12-inch-thick seawall were washed away by the storm. ~ieces of the seawall were found more than 150 feet from point of origin. Three buildings and many feet of brick walk sustained damage from this storm, along with much sea-water damage at the Catalina Art Gallery and Museum located at Casino Point. Total damage was estimated to exceed $300,000. A meteorological analysis of this devastating storm showed that it differed considerably from the usual Santa Ana. Radar was particu­ larly helpful in issuance of short-term warnings. II. METEOROL03Y - LOW LEVEL FEATURES The strong easterly winds which occurred in parts of southern Cali­ fornia during January 15 - 17, 1966, were not the usual breed of Santa Ana winds which blow during fall and winter months. By 0400PST, January 14, a Los Angeles Forecast Center objective aid indicated a Santa Ana windstorm was imminent. This aid is based primarily on the presence of a rather strong west-to-east height gradient at the 500-mb level, coincident with a large surface pressure gradient between the Oregon coast and eastern Nevada. A third factor is a significant 500-mb temperature gradient between eastern Washington and eastern Nevada. Values of the above parameters on January 14 and January 15 are shown in Table 1 belowo The possibility of a Santa Ana windstorm is listed as a percentage probability in the last column. TABLE I 500-mb ht diff. Sea-Level Press. Temp diff. 500-mb Obj Sys. OAK-ELY diff. GEG-ELY (°C) Santa Ana Hour/Day (tens of GDM) MFR-ELY (mb) prob.

However, the typical Santa Ana of sunny skies, low humidities, and strong northeast winds over particular mountain ridges did not develop. Primarily, the winds were accompanied by cloudiness and rainshowers. Secondly, the winds blew in unusual locations. Generally, they swoop down through the main passes of the coastal ranges, such as the Santa Clara Valley, the canyons of the Newhall and Saugus areas, and Cajon Pass (Figure 1). This time, however, the wind was not primarily guided by these usual terrain features, but by others. This wind behavior will be discussed in greater detail later in the paper.

All segments of our society—businessmen and labor leaders, farmers and urban workers, educators and legislators—now accept and endorse these objectives, particularly the need for full employment. Each year the President's Economic Report reaffirms alle- giance to the principles of the Employment Act of 1946. Each year the Joint Economic Committee appraises the President's program for promoting "maximum employment, production, and purchasing power," and prods both the Congress and the executive to pursue whatever measures seem needed to achieve or maintain full employment and economic stability. Each year scores of governmental, business, labor, and civic groups, besides many hundreds of individual economists and other intellectuals, join in the continuing debate on the most appropriate means of achieving the broad economic objectives Lecture at American Enterprise Institute, April 11, 1967.

The SEC has filed notice of appearance in the Chapter X proceedings for the reorganization of Concrete Maintenance Products, Inc., pending in the Federal court at Chicago. The Debtor filed a voluntary petition for reorganization which was approved by the court on April 18, 1966. Edward Limperis was appointed trustee. The Debtor was formed in November 1964 to manufacture building construction and maintenance products. According to the_petition, assets approximate $590,000, consisting principally of land interests of about $475,000. The liabilities are stated as being in excess of $500,000, but no further breakdown is provided. In excess of 4,000 persons are understood to own the Debtor's approximately 1,200,000 outstanding shares of Class B common stock. A merger of L. F. Pope1l Co., Inc. ("Pope1l") and the Debtor was purportedly cons~ted on January IS, 1965. Popell at that time was in a Chapter XI proceeding in the Federal Court in Hiaai, Florida. Under the merger, each share of stock of Popell was to be exchanged for one share of the Debtor's Class B common stock. NATIONAL FUEL GAS RECEIVES ORDER. The SEC has issued an order under the Holding Company Act (Release 35- 15483) authorizing certain financing proposals by National Fuel Gas Co., New York holding company, and three of its gas utility subsidiaries, Iroquois Gas Corp., Pennsylvania Gas Co., and United Natural Gas Co.

    1 NASA HISTORY NENSLETTER October 14, 1966 (EH) Number 6 THE NL4SA Historical Propram was given Hq. Division status and transferred t,o the Office of Policy halysis, which is headed by Assistant 4dministrator Breene W. Kerr, Action followed a management analysis study of the historical function in NASI and will provide the basis for management review and support of the NASA Historical Program. THE N4SA HISTORIC4L ADVISORY COMMITTEE held its third meeting on May 30, 1966, chaired by Professor Melvin Kranzberg of Case Institute and the Society for the History of Technology. Highlights of the meeting were the challenges presented the Committee by 4dministrator$ Webb and Seamans on the utility, scope, and meaning of history. The report of the Committee is due any time now. 9N 4DMINISTRATIVE HISTORY OF N4S.4, 1958-1963 (SP-4101), by Dr. Robert Rosholt, made its appearance in July, the first NASA history published and the first in the Administration and Management History Series. Its reception within NASA was immediate and pleasing, and a second printing was under- taken in September. While professional reviews must await the process of time, brief mentions have appeared in Foreign Affairs, Sciencg Newsletter, and favorable response has been received by Administrator Jebb who sent information copies to a number of Federal and academic officials. It is generally appreciated that the value of Rosholt's effort lies in the considerable amunt of documentation collated and organized close to the events despite its limited treatment of policy and program aspects of N4SA's management story. The latter area, which will be more prominent in future $NASA history volumes, was clearly delineated in the Foreword by Administrator ilebb.
