Aug 29, 2000 · A sea breeze develops a few hours after sunrise, continues during the daylight hours, and dies down after sunset. Later, a seaward-blowing land breeze appears and continues until after sunrise. The sea breeze may extend up to 50 or 100 km inland, but the seaward range of the land breeze is much smaller.

The sea breeze grows during the day in the warm season and the features that the sea-land breeze present dominates the behaviour of photochemical pollutants [3, 4]. The Huelva city, situated at SW of Spain (see figure 1 ) is one coastal region, characterised by high solar radiation level, which cause that the mesoscale atmospheric flows are ...

Jan 1, 2025 · Sea-breeze days were determined on the basis of the prevalence of sea-breeze hours in the dataset. Specifically, determination of sea-breeze days was based on sea-breeze hours, and the number of days with > 2/3 of sea-breeze hours of valid hourly data was defined as a valid day (Qiu & Fan, 2013).

Mar 1, 2023 · The sea-land breeze (SLB) is a kind of meso- and micro-scale circulation caused by the thermodynamic difference between land and sea, a typical SLB is generally to be considered with a horizontal scale of less than 100 km (Neumann and Mahrer, 1971; Shen et al., 2021).

Jun 15, 2015 · The model variables are analyzed before the occurrence of sea-breeze, in order to provide a snapshot of the environment conducive to their development. During the detected days of sea-breeze (Table 1), simulations with the WRF model were also performed as an additional source of comparison with the observations and with the MOLOCH outputs. In ...

Jul 1, 2024 · Sea breeze can be categorized into pure sea breeze (PSB), backdoor sea breeze (BSB), corkscrew sea breeze (CSB) and synoptic sea breeze (SSB) based on the prevailing wind direction (Adams, 1997). The PSB is a sea breeze with sudden change of wind direction from land breeze to sea breeze, both of which are perpendicular to the coastline (c.f ...

Dec 1, 2019 · The sea breeze is a common phenomenon in coastal cities, but its cooling effect has not been well investigated. In this research, we firstly propose a metric of sea breeze cooling capacity (SBCC) to quantify the cooling effect of sea breezes in a coastal city, Adelaide, Australia.

Sep 1, 2012 · The experimental area of the study of the sea-breeze development is the Attica peninsula in Greece (Fig. 1), located at the eastern part of the Mediterranean basin, characterized by a temperate Mediterranean climate with prolonged warm and dry period (Founda and Giannakopoulos, 2009).

Mar 1, 2021 · The sea breeze has the potential to cool the local environment and therefore mitigate the urban heat in summer. In this study, we analyze sea breeze cooling capacity (SBCC) and propose a new method to estimate its inland penetration based on observed data from the Adelaide urban heat island monitoring network.

Nov 1, 2024 · When a sea breeze makes landfall in the daytime, the urban wind field is controlled by the coupling effect of the land breeze and the sea breeze in the opposite direction (Chen et al., 2011; Papanastasiou et al., 2010; Shen et al., 2018). The convergence of the two breezes and the subsequent formation of the sea-land breeze circulation tend to ...
