COLD AIR "LAKES," FROST POCKETS, & ACCUMULATION AREAS: The cold air fills an area, similar to a bowl or a lake. Without having any drainage, the cold air builds up, thereby causing frost damage. |
Blueberries, Kettleman City, CA |
Cherries, Touchet, WA |
SWALES & CANYONS: A flow of freezing air is funneled into each area, such as a swale or canyon, causing a build up of cold air and creating frost damage. |
Apricots, Selah, WA |
Peaches, Guatemala |
SLOPED AREAS: Frost damage occurs where there is a mass of freezing air moving downhill. The cold air builds along a canal bank, reservoir bank, berm, elevated road, trees & shrubs, or other obstruction. |

FLOODING: Flooding occurs when cold air accumulates below an orchard, builds up, then overflows the contained area. This is similar to the way a lake or river rises, then floods over its banks. |

FLAT AREAS: To drain cold air from flat areas, artificial or natural barriers surrounding the growing area may be necessary. This contains the cold air and allows for its removal with the SHuR FARMS Cold Air Drain®. |
