“…Their observational studies pointed out that land breeze from the cold land to the warm lake plays an important role in the generation of the last two types of cloud band. That was supported by numerical experiments (Ballentine, 1982;Hjelmfelt and Braham, 1983). The mechanism that a thermal contrast at the lower boundary generates a thin mesoscale circulation is common to the convergent cloud band over the Japan Sea, the snow band over Lake Michigan and the convergence line off the coast of New York and New Jersey in the United States investigated by Atlas et al (1983).…”

“…Passarelli and Braham (1981) observed shoreline-parallel snowbands and showed that a shallow winter land breeze (only a few hundred meters deep) has an important role in organizing the low-level convergence and in the formation of the snowbands. Ballentine (1982) indicated by numerical simulations that a snowband coincides with a narrow band of upward motion which results from the convergence between a land breeze and an easterly wind over Lake Michigan, and has also shown that latent heat release plays an important role in intensifying the land breeze circulation. Using a mesoscale numerical model, Hjelmfelt and Braham (1983) found that latent heat release plays an important role in strengthening convection, and that the basic mesoscale circulation pattern, including a land breeze, is caused by the lake-land surface temperature difference.…”

“…Indeed, Ballentine (1982) and Hjelmfelt and Braham (1983) performed a numerical simulation of the convergence cloud over Lake Michigan using a hydrostatic limited area model and indicated that latent heat release played an important role in intensifying the land breeze circulation and the convergence cloud over the lake. The horizontal grid intervals of their models were about 10 km, and the method of cumulus cloud parameterization for the model whose grid intervals are about 10 km has not been established yet.…”
