5:39 am
assignment 7 report. >> this is an unconventional experiment taking place high above the ground. the branches of giant sequoias in the witkerr forest near king's canyon national park. we provided cameras to shoot the installation. >> just spent the day branch mapping. >> researchers davis and humble stake have come together to study these giants. they are taking careful measurements and using special cameras to take photos high up in these trees. they'll count the leaves and measure the branches. >> you hold it in position. you go with your compass with the other hand. one hand you get the measurement other hoping to determine whether global warming it having an impact on the last remaining groves of redwoods in the world. >> it's critical to get up into the trees because that's where all the action's happening. that's what's going on in the
5:40 am
tree. in order to understand the tree and what it's doing and how it's growing and its structure and its function, you need to get up there. you can't just study these trees from the ground. >> two centuries of logging decimated old growth redwoods. these ancient trees once covered large portions of northern california. today only about 5% of the original forest is left. over the next three years, the team will branch out and climb the huge sequoias and immense redwoods at 13 locations around the state as part of a $2.5 million project. we caught up with the researchers recently in humbolt county. that's where they launched the redwoods initiative. the goal is one key question. >> what's the future of these trees in a changing world. >> hartly is executive director of the save the redwoods league, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving these great trees. >> we need to understand the
5:41 am
past of these trees. we need to understand how they're functioning today so we can make smart decisions how we can save them in the future is climate change is happening now. not one of those things we're going to look to happen in the future. if we don't start working on finding solutions now, you know, these eco systems, these trees, these species of all kinds, going to be gone. >> the study has already yielded some interesting results. >> we're finding that trees that are over 1500 years old are growing more than they ever had in their history and that is completely unpredicted from basic scientific understanding what happened to old forests and old trees. >> they found evidence of decreased fog where redwoods grow and fluctuations by the amount of water lost and absorbed by tree leaves. core samples are another important tool in understanding the life of these trees. >> at base height, you only get a limited view of the tree. >> getting samples from high up
5:42 am
in the trees used to mean waiting for them to fall. >> the key to redwoods and the key to the tree rings and having samples that have a stronger pattern, more representative rings is growing up in the tree. >> tree rings can cover past humidity, rainfall, fog and temperature. to keep tabs on future readings, they are also installing sensitive monitoring equipment. >> we put these sensors in the trees to monitor climatic conditions and then we can monitor things like the flow of water through the tree. >> the boxwood weighs about 60 pounds and another 40 pounds of cabling. >> ideally the team hopes to eventually streamline those boxes into smaller devices that will be placed on treetops throughout forests. >> with a device like this, it's a wireless microclimate sensor. it will enable you to quantify the climate that the tree's
5:43 am
experiencing wherever you put this device. >> using the data collector, scientist hope to preserve what's left of these magnificent giants for future generations. dan ashley, abc 7 news. >> well, that project is being funded by bay area billionaire ken fisher who studied forestry. if you'd like to make a contribution there's a link at abc7news.com under "see it on tv." lisa, they talked about microclimate sensors. i guess your computers have something like that. >> very interesting. the microclimates today in full swing. we are looking at still a range at our coast and inland valleys. but usually the fog that dictates much of our summer weather will be taking a bit of a hiatus later on today and tomorrow because we've got high pressure building into the north. we provide wind shift and less
5:44 am
fog. our roof camera shows a little bit -- you can't tell from this. but patchy fog in the north bay from napa and santa cruz. so we are looking at just a few areas. and with the clear sky, temperatures have dropped along the coast, half moon bay at 45. 46 santa rosa. you have some fog and the visibility is about a half mile down through watsonville. 56. fremont 53 in sunnyvale and 60s for concord and antioch. so just patchy coastal fog in the north bay along the central coast. and we will see a warmer day today, kind of breezy around the bay at times and by tomorrow the winds shift to an offshore component. not gonna last though. we've got another to have waiting in the wings. we have mid-week cooling with mist and drizzle. so this morning the fog could quickly dissipate and we'll see those 60s at our beaches, 70s san francisco and tomorrow it just keeps going up. so a brief warm-up really will
5:45 am
be focussed on labor day. so if you have plans tomorrow, should be a great beach day. some 80s around the bay. and even 90s sneaking into our east bay valleys. so with the ridge of high pressure, our fair weather maker, it will be a sunny afternoon today and that's going to last into tomorrow as that ridge builds. the winds though will be picking up in the higher elevations overnight tonight. don't think it will be too gusty but they are windy enough today for the fire danger to be a concern in the northern and southern sierra. 74 lake tahoe. some choppy seas out there on the lake. 67 monterey. look for 85 los angeles. they have some fog. and hot weather in the desert. palm springs 108. back home we will be looking at a warmer day today at sausalito with sunshine and 70. the warmest day will be tomorrow though. as much as 8 degrees warmer. breezy winds around millbrae for your art and win festival. 68 for the high. and temperatures today low to
5:46 am
mid-80s for the most part around santa clara and milpitas. 88 los gatos. peninsula 77. san mateo 83 mountainview more sunshine for pacifica and half moon bay. san francisco topping out around 70 today, north bay numbers. wide range with mid-60s, nice sunny afternoon at stinson, low to mid-90s way north. east bay you're warming up in berkeley today, 75 in oakland. look for 80 castro valley and out over the hills. another nice afternoon. 91 walnut creek in danville so warm day here. and the fog dense for the next couple hours and then giving way to a lot of sun with 67 in monterey and 86 in hollister. so warmer weather today. a little breezy. patchy dense fog along the coast early and then a warmer day today, even warmer tomorrow with an offshore flow and then mist and drizzle returns for much, much cooler weather. and, you know, this can translate into some freezing
5:47 am
temperatures in the mountains. >> no. >> i know. briefly. (laughter) >> thank you, lisa. don't go away. "7 on your side" is next. >> someone else's personal information winds up in your computer. could you be
5:48 am
