North Coronado Island made an appearance today from San Diego. This time of year, a persistent temperature inversion and marine layer conditions create coastal fog and haze that tends to limit visibility to 10 miles or less.
For whatever reason, the "May Gray" overcast cloud layer was higher and the near surface air was a bit clearer, allowing the Coronados, about 18 miles south of San Diego, to peek through.
Those who are familiar with my channel know that this is the view from boat launch on Shelter Island (San Diego harbor). This view had been the subject of many repeated observations that examined the vertical alignment of the North Island Naval Air Station ammo pier (seen at left of frame) with the "spur" on the south end of the island to assess for flatness versus convexity.
There's no presentation here, or annotations, or commentary. It's just 10 minutes of footage shot during a lunch break, taking advantage of the relatively clear visibility. I don't expect this video will help my channel's analytics. If I was trying to grow my channel, this is not the sort of thing one should upload. I don't know why I am uploading this, honestly. Maybe just to keep the channel alive and remind folks I'm still around?
