Description

A conceptual diagram of the Gulf Surge phenomenon.

Gulf surges may be triggered by the passage of a tropical disturbance near the mouth of the Gulf of California or by organized convective activity that move over the Gulf from the Sierra Madre.
The Gulf acts as a natural passageway for moisture (long solid white arrows) drawn into the deserts of northwest Mexico and southern Arizona and California by a semi-permanent thermal low. The increase in moisture into this region then results in greater thunderstorm activity. (Description from the USGS.)

SVG development

The SVG code is valid.

This diagram was created with Adobe Illustrator.

This SVG diagram contains embedded raster graphics.^[1] Such images are liable to produce inferior results when scaled to different sizes (as well as possibly being very inefficient in file size). If appropriate to do so, they should be replaced with images created using vector graphics.
Note: This template is only supposed to be used if the SVG file mixes vector and raster graphics. If the SVG file only contains raster graphics {{FakeSVG}} is supposed to be used. See also {{TopoSVG}}.

This is a retouched picture, which means that it has been digitally altered from its original version. Modifications: Redrawn as vector image, combined. The original can be viewed here: Gulf of California moisture surge.svg: . Modifications made by Begoon.
