A statistical study of the correlation between the surface and surface geostrophic winds in the Wilamette Valley

Relationships among the surface wind, horizontal synoptic-scale pressure gradient and topography are studied in the Willamette Valley in western Oregon. Terrain features alter the standard surface wind-pressure gradient relationship such that the angle between the surface wind and the surface geostr...
