Microclimates

The Microclimates section seems out of place... —Quarl ^(talk) 2007-03-27 11:57Z

i have added an intro sentence to create more logical context for this material. Anlace 14:24, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

What is needed is some statement of the reason why anyone would care about the microclimate in the location of a business park. if its just a routine study, not connected to the park, it should be in the article for the region. I have moved the information (no inline citations anyway) to the talk page.

The microclimate at Seaport Centre is similar to that of the Port of Redwood City. Microclimates within the San Francisco Bay Area have certain gross similarities, but some meteorological parameters have pronounced differences. For this reason a detailed microclimate study was conducted at the nearby Port of Redwood City, with the specific goal of comparing meteorological parameters to nearby locations on the San Francisco Peninsula.(Port of Redwood City, 1994) Temperatures, for example, were found to conform closely to those of San Francisco International Airport and Palo Alto Airport; in contrast, wind speeds at the Port were found to be approximately half the levels of San Francisco Airport. This result is not surprising since Conomos observed that the wind speeds in Northern San Mateo County are high due to the San Bruno Gap in the Santa Cruz Mountains.(Conomos, 1979) The highest recorded 24-hour rainfall of 4.88 inches was on October 13, 1962. There are an average of 62.1 days with measurable precipitation at this location.
