-RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS:  The mean annual soil temperature is about 59 degrees to 62 degrees F. and the soil temperature usually is not below 47 degrees F. at any time.  The mean summer soil temperature is about 65 degrees to 70 degrees F. and the mean winter soil temperature is about 55 degrees to 60 degrees F.  The soil between depths of about 12 and 35 inches is usually dry all of the time from late April or May until November and is moist in some or all parts all the rest of the year.  Rock fragments are lacking and textures throughout the profile are sand to loamy fine sand.  Many pedons are about pH 5.7 to 6.3 and tend to be less acid in the uppermost and lower most horizons.  The full range of reaction is neutral to strongly acid.  
+RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS:
+Mean annual soil temperature: Thermic temperature regime. Mean annual soil temperature at 50 cm is 17 degrees C, and the difference between mean summer and mean winter soil temperature is greater than 6 degrees C.
 
-The A horizon is pale brown to dark yellowish brown (10YR 6/2, 6/3, 5/2, 5/3, 5/4, 4/3, 4/4).  It has less than 1 percent organic matter in all parts or less than 1 percent below a depth of 5 inches.  This horizon is massive or single grained or has granular or crumb structure.  
+Soil moisture: Xeric moisture regime. Usually dry in all parts from late April or early May until late November or early December, and usually moist in some or all parts the rest of the year.
 
-The B2 horizon is light brown to strong brown (7.5YR 6/4, 5/4, 4/4, 5/6).  It is massive and slightly hard or hard and slightly brittle.  This horizon has brown or reddish brown lamellae 1/4 to 3/4 inch thick.  The lamellae are thinner and more distinct from the matrix in the upper part of the horizon and become generally thicker and less distinct with depth.  Clay bridges in the lamellae are moderately thick to thick and the lamellae are hard or very hard when dry and sticky when wet.  The aggregate thickness of the lamellae is about 2 to 5 inches and the lamellae are about 2 to 6 inches apart.  The matrix has some thin clay bridges.

Baywood soils have a mollic epipedon.  Betteravia soils have an argillic horizon and a weak duripan.  Corralitos soils lack lamellae.  Garey soils have an argillic horizon made up of lamellae (aggregate thickness of more than 6 inches).  Oceano soils are soft or loose in the matrix and the lamellae have thin or very thin clay bridges.  Tangair soils are seasonally saturated to within 24 inches of the surface and have concretions rather than lamellae.

-GEOGRAPHIC SETTING:  The Marina soils are gently sloping to moderately steep and are on short rolling dune-like slopes at elevations of 100 to 700 feet.  They formed in old sand dunes near the coast.  The climate is dry subhumid mesothermal with dry somewhat foggy summers and cool moist winters.  Mean annual precipitation is 12 to 16 inches.  Average January temperature is 50 degrees to 55 degrees F., average July temperature is 62 degrees to 67 degrees F., and mean annual temperature is 58 degrees to 61 degrees F.
