“…If the offshore geostrophic wind speed is above some critical value, then sea breezes do not form as the synoptic pressure gradient effectively cancels the local pressure gradient. The critical value of the offshore geostrophic wind above which sea breezes are likely to be absent has been found to be 6-11 m s −1 , depending on the strength of the land-water temperature gradient (Biggs and Graves 1962;Arritt 1993;Porson et al 2007c). For small and medium-sized lakes, the critical value is unknown, but likely ranges between 3-5 m s −1 (Segal et al 1997).…”

Numerical studies of sea and lake breezes are reviewed. The modelled dependence of sea-breeze and lake-breeze characteristics on the land surface sensible heat flux, ambient geostrophic wind, atmospheric stability and moisture, water body dimensions, terrain height and slope, Coriolis parameter, surface roughness length, and shoreline curvature is discussed. Consensus results on the influence of these geophysical variables on sea and lake breezes are synthesized as well as current gaps in our understanding. A brief history of numerical modelling, an overview of recent high-resolution simulations, and suggestions for future research related to sea and lake breezes are also presented. The results of this survey are intended to be a resource for numerical modelling, coastal air quality, and wind power studies.

“…It is reported the air-sea exchange of mercury vapor and sea salt transported toward the inland coastal area from sea mostly in the summer season (Marks and Beldowska, 2001). Different aspects and mechanism of S/L breeze have been studied for several years in different coastal regions in the world where the characteristics of breeze is significantly different for local conditions concerned (Biggs and Graves, 1962;Melas et al, 1995;Chiba et al, 1999;Liu and Chan 2002;Bastin et al, 2005;Fan et al, 2008;Jeong et al, 2008;Rani et al, 2010). The properties of breeze such as breeze depth, velocity, penetration length, etc.…”

“…4.2 Occurrence of the L1SB and general meteorological conditions It is commonly recognized that the L&SB prevails under meteorological conditions of a weak synoptic pressure gradient and fair weather. Various expressions exist to define quantitatively the weak synoptic pressure gradient and fair weather (for example, Biggs and Graves, 1962;Lyons, 1972;Yoshikado, loc. cit.).…”

The general aspects of land and sea breezes in the Osaka Bay area and its environment are revealed from an analysis of the wind data obtained by the AMeDAS. The study area consists of a complex land-sea configuration and a complex topography which includes plains, hilly terrain, and mountainous regions. The land and sea breezes are classified into five types according to the behavior of the sea breeze at several locations in the study area.The most frequently occurring type is characterized in the following. Along the southern coast of Osaka Bay, the sea breeze from Osaka Bay changes with time into that from the Kui Channel. At the same time, along the coast of the Seto Inland Sea the sea breeze contains a predominant easterly component. For this type, several interesting features are further elucidated: (1) the simultaneous onset of the coastal sea breeze and the valley or upslope wind in the mountainous region is clearly seen, especially in the eastern Chugoku area, (2) the meeting of the southerly sea breeze from the Seto Inland Sea and the northerly breeze from the Sea of Japan occurs around the region of the mountain ridges in eastern Chugoku, (3) the alternation of converging sea breezes from surrounding seas forms a uniform southerly sea breeze from the Kui Channel at Awaji Island, (4) the southerly sea breeze continues until the late afternoon in the coastal area of the Kui Channel and Osaka Bay.Other types are discussed and compared with the above type for the mature stage of the sea breeze. The relationships between the occurrence of the land and sea breeze and general meteorological conditions are also analyzed.
