Abstract
The application of atmospheric cross sections to a relatively small area is explored as a tool in the study of surface winds in mountainous terrain. Covering a distance of only 50 mi through the Oregon Coast Range, these charts help in tracing airflow over local obstacles and portray changes in stability and stratification. Evidence is presented that vertical patterns of potential temperature must be considered in the detailed analysis of wind structure in mountain areas.
