The central New England sea breeze study
… environments conducive to the formation of sea breezes were examined, as well as the spatial and temporal evolution of sea-breeze circulations, gravity currents, and fronts along the central New England coast. Sea breeze events were defined as occurring when the observed surface wind …

A theoretical study of the sea breeze
… and a mean stratification are used to model the sea breeze in two dimensions. the motion is forced by a prescribed surface temperature function. The linear model produces a sea breeze with realistic velocities and spatial dimensions. Hydrostatic solutions are found to differ very little from the …

Climate Change and the Sea Breeze in the North Carolina Coast
… SB simulations were produced using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Future climate WRF simulations utilized the pseudo-global warming (PGW) approach, which involves rerunning current climate SB simulations using modified thermodynamic initial conditions that represent a warmer, …

The influence of the land-sea breeze on coastal upwelling systems
The land-sea breeze is resonant with the inertial response of the ocean at the critical latitude of 30° N/S, however its role in the physical and biogeochemical functioning of eastern boundary upwelling systems (EBUS) is often over-looked. Here, we present a series of 1D, 2D, and 3D numerical …

Simulating Sea Breeze Type Climatologies: Implications for Wind Energy, Weather Forecasting and Sailing in the Southern North Sea
… undergoing a revolution. In the southern North Sea, renewable energy production targets, set by European governments to counter growing concerns over climate change, have sparked an initiative to rapidly construct a large number of offshore wind farms. To meet the targets, the industry must …

Relationship between the land/sea breeze circulations and the air pollution dispersion over the coastal area of Kuwait.
… area of Kuwait, to identify the effect the sea-land breeze circulations have on the winds, and determine the effects of the wind patterns of pollution concentration in the region. Nearly all of the severe air quality conditions over the coastal areas are correlated with the sea-land breeze …

Atmospheric chemistry and aerosol associated with the coastal urban environment
… Texas. It (1) explores the relationship between sea breeze and air quality, (2) investigates the spatiotemporal characteristics of aerosols and SOA formation rates, and (3) analyzes factors that impact new particle formation (NPF). Long-term monitoring demonstrated that PM2.5 (particles with …

Inner Shelf Circulation off Cartagena De Indias, Caribbean Coast of Colombia
… Cartagena de Indias on the Colombian Caribbean Sea, from water depths varying from 7 to 20 m. The analysis has focused in two particular time scales: subtidal and diurnal. The region is characterized by two main seasons, the 'dry' and 'rainy' season. During the 'dry' season (December to April) …

Mitigating urban heat island effects : An analysis of precinct ventilation performance and its impact on urban heat islands and outdoor thermal comfort
… city and regional scales but very little research has been conducted at the precinct scale. Furthermore, wind is affected by numerous urban morphological characteristics; yet, there is a lack of studies on the relationship between wind and morphological characteristics at the precinct scale …

Exploring the Influence of Diurnal Forcing on Tidal Inlet Exchange and the Impact on the movement of Oxygen Depleted Waters in the Mississippi Sound and Bight Region
… to investigate the influence of the diurnal sea breeze on the flushing of estuarine waters onto the shelf.</p> <p>Results from these numerical experiments have provided a detailed perspective on flushing times and the impacts on the appearance of the poorly understood hypoxic event in the …

Mesometeorological modelling and trajectory studies during an air pollution episode in the lower Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada
… wind, strong insolation and the occurrence of sea breezes. To shed some light on the mesometeorology of ozone episodes in the LFV, this study employed the Regional Atmospheric Modelling System from Colorado State University, a non hydrostatic, three-dimensional mesoscale modelling system to …

Atmospheric microplastic pollution
The following research marks the beginning of the new field of research on theatmospheric transport of microplastic and its potential terrestrial and oceanicsource. Taking atmospheric deposition samples from the French Pyrenees Iwas able to illustrate the first atmospheric transport of …
