Hmmm...The land mass has larger temp swings than the Bay/Ocean so Bob's
theory would go out to door I think.
Also, I think warmest land temps are between 4 and 7PM when windspeed
peaks.
Coolest land temps usually are right before sunrise....Assume constant
water temp of 57F and the shutdown is about mid way between hottest and
coolest of the land temps.
Above doesn't explain why it blows all night but shuts off mid day....
Might be some "Capacity" effects like tides in the Bay...Where current
lags tide height?
temp observation in my backyard and windspeed observation for
Coyote/Third.
We need Lloyd Lindsey Yourn or Pete Giddings!
