Scripps Hydroclimate
Weather Observation Program
Camp Pendleton and the Santa Margarita Ecological Reserve are linked by the Santa Margarita
River. This river is formed by the confluence of Temecula Creek and Murrieta Creek near
Temecula, CA. The Santa Margarita River is one of the major study areas of the Scripps
Institution of Oceanography Hydroclimate Research Program.
