In the column below is a list of average weather conditions that prevail during the month of July at San Francisco, California, and Atlantic City, New Jersey. Both cities lie adjacent to an ocean at nearly the same latitude; however, the average weather conditions vary greatly. In terms of the average surface winds and pressure systems (see figure below) and the interaction between the atmosphere and the ocean, explain what accounts for the variation between the two cities of each weather element. Atlantic City, New Jersey (latitude 398N) Average weather, July Temperature maximum/maximum 858F/ 678F Dew point 668F Monthly precipitation 3.72 in. Prevailing wind S Water temperature 708F   San Francisco, California (latitude 378N) Average weather, July Temperature maximum/maximum 668F/548F Dew point 538F Monthly precipitation 0.00 in. Prevailing wind NW Water temperature 598F
