Relocating downtown L.A.’s official weather observation site could cause a discontinuity in the local climate record, some experts say.

“I mean, the lion bit on McCarthy, so I don’t think it’s wise to have too many of those discontinuities.”

The National Transportation Safety Board said that investigators also found a “discontinuity” in the wiring of an alternate system for lowering the landing gear.
