This paper describes the tropospheric circulation over the lower deserts of Arizona, California, and northwestern Mexico using observations from a special rawinsonde network operated during July and August as part of the 1993 Southwest Area Monsoon Project.
The observations show that the flow over the low desert is diffluent, divergent, and upslope during the afternoon and confluent, weakly convergent, and downslope or slope parallel in the early morning hours.
A heat budget indicates that radiative heating in the lower troposphere over the desert is approximately balanced by the influx of cooler air from over the Gulf of California but uncertainties in the estimates of vertical motion and horizontal temperature advection make the budget uncertain in the middle troposphere.
