	West Coast of the United States - Definition, explanation
		In general, the term "West Coast" is a nickname for the coastal states of the Western United States, comprising California, Oregon and Washington, and sometimes Alaska and Hawaii (see Pacific States).
		The West Coast is a portion of the West.
		It has also come to be called "The Coast", especially by New Yorkers, or the "Left Coast," a pun based on its lefthand position on a map of the US as well as its reputation for being more socially liberal — or left wing — than the East Coast or Midwest.

	United States v. West Coast Aluminum Heat Trating Co.
		West Coast objected to the loss calculation in its sentencing papers, arguing that there was no proof that the parts sold to the government were actually defective; thus, the method employed to calculate loss was not a realistic, economic approach.
		West Coast also pointed out that, at trial, government witnesses had testified that the tested parts had passed all applicable tests, and that the government had failed to cite any instances of actual part failure due to the use of the shortened processes.
		West Coast argues that, because no injuries have occurred or were intended, and because only "18 out of hundreds of thousands [of parts were allegedly defective] over the life of the fraud, which carried on for almost twenty years," the record did not justify the enhancement.

	West Coast of the United States Information
		The states shown in dark red are usually included, while all or portions of the striped states may or may not be considered part of the West Coast.
		Often Arizona and Nevada, while not coastal states, are included in the West Coast due to their proximity to the Pacific Coast and their economic and cultural ties to California.
		California is the core of the region; when the term "West Coast" is used by outsiders, more often than not it is in reference to California or even specifically to Southern California.

	USGS - Coastal Erosion Along the U.S. West Coast During the 1997-98 El Niño: Expectations and Observations
		Figure 1: Extent of airborne scanning laser (lidar) surveys along the west coast of the United States during October 1997 and April 1998.
		A key element of the plan was to survey 1200 km of representative reaches of the west coast both prior to and following the El Niño winter storms using scanning airborne laser altimetry, a technology which has only recently been applied to coastal change research.
		However, along the coast, the cliff did not retreat landward uniformly; in fact, there was considerable spatial variability in the responses of both beaches and cliffs.

		The oblique trend of this coast would be even more pronounced but for a comparatively modern crustal movement, causing a depression in the northeast resulting in an encroachment of the sea upon the land.
		Western states - The west is home to the pacific coast of the United States as well as many gorges, plateaus and mountain ranges, the most famous being the Rocky Mountains.

	Sea Shepherd - Bottom Trawling Banned on the West Coast of the United States

	2.1 West Coast of the United States
		While such filaments had been identified in earlier satellite images of sea surface temperature, the CODE observations showed that associated with the cold filaments are strong current jets extending 100 m or more below the surface, with core speeds in excess of 50 cm/s.
		The large volume of cold, upwelled coastal water carried offshore in these filaments was intriguing and puzzling, since it was equivalent to the expected wind-driven offshore transport over a 1000 km section of coast [ Kosro and Huyer, 1986].
		This key result provided a new perspective on the shelf circulation of the west coast of the U. which had predominantly been viewed in the context of wind-driven circulation on time scales of days to weeks.

		This is the fifth year in a row a dead zone has developed off the Oregon Coast, but none of the previous events were of this magnitude, and they have varied somewhat in their causes and effects.
		Researchers from OSU, PISCO and other state and federal agencies are developing a better understanding of how these dead zone events can occur on a local basis.
