Major currents in the California Current System: the California Current (the bulkier, vertical blue line), the coastal jet, the Davidson Current and California Undercurrent, and the Southern California Eddy/Countercurrent.
The lack of clouds along the coast (and also along the Central Valley of California) is due to an offshore wind blowing drier air from the land offshore.
Upwelling process off the coast of California bringing cooler, nutrient rich water up to the surface.
