A coastal local wind that blows from sea to land, caused by the temperature difference when the sea surface is colder than the adjacent land. Therefore, it usually blows on relatively calm, sunny, summer days, and alternates with the oppositely directed, usually weaker, nighttime land breeze. As the sea breeze regime progresses, the wind develops a component parallel to the coast, owing to the Coriolis deflection. See lake breeze, brisa, doctor, virazon, sea-breeze front. Defant, F., 1951: Compendium of Meteorology, 655–672.
A coastal breeze blowing from sea to land, caused by temperature difference when the land surface is warmer than the sea surface.
A breeze blowing from the sea to adjacent land. It usually blows by day, when the land is warmer than the sea, and alternates with a land breeze.
A local onshore wind. Cooler air from over the sea flows onto the shore to replace the warm air rising over the land. On sunny days the land heats up more quickly, and to a greater extent, than the sea. The air in contact with the land warms and expands and the resulting changes in the pressure and temperature differences and distributions cause the sea breeze circulation. At night, when the land cools more quickly, and to a greater extent, than the sea, the reverse land breeze circulation is set up.
Onshore flow of air that results from differntial heating of land and water during the day. The same as a lake breeze, only on a larger scale.
A small-scale wind circulation set off by differences in water and land temperatures along the coast. The sea breeze develops during the daytime and always blows from the sea. Its counterpart is the land breeze.
a cooling breeze from the sea (during the daytime)
a local wind caused by differences in heat and air pressure between the land and ocean
a wind blowing from the water onto the land
A cool breeze blowing inland from the sea along coastal locations during the afternoon hours, caused by differences in the surface temperatures of the land and sea.
a coastal breeze that blows from sea to land during daytime in summer, that is caused by warm air rising over land and being replaced by cooler air from over the sea.
A coastal local wind that blows from the ocean onto the land and often begins during some time during the day at many coastal locations. The leading edge of the breeze is termed a sea breeze front.
A breeze (wind) blowing inland from the sea generally during daytime hours.
Winds blowing inland from any body of water.
A wind caused by the differential heating between land and water. During the day the land heats more than the water. This promotes lower pressure on the land surface and higher pressure on the water surface. Since air flows from higher toward lower pressure the wind flow is from the ocean.
a cooling breeze blowing generally in the daytime inland from the sea, caused by the temperature difference when the sea surface is cooler than the adjacent land
A wind that blows from a sea or ocean towards a land mass. Also known as an onshore breeze.
Sea breezes occur during the daytime in warm sunny weather when the air over a land is heated more rapidly than that over an adjacent water surface. As a result, the warmer air rises and relatively cool air from the sea flows onshore to replace it. At night, the air over the land cools faster than that over the nearby ocean and causes the air circulation to be in the opposite direction - a land breeze. Land breezes are usually weaker than sea breezes and have a less noticeable effect upon the temperature.
A coastal local wind that blows from sea to land, caused by temperature difference when the sea is colder than the adjacent land. Opposite a land breeze where the wind blows from land to sea.
A diurnal coastal breeze that blows onshore, from the sea to the land. It is caused by the temperature difference when the surface of the land is warmer than the adjacent body of water. Predominate during the day, it reaches its maximum early to mid afternoon. It blows in the opposite direction of a land breeze.
A sea-breeze (or onshore breeze) is a wind from the sea that develops over land near coasts. It is formed by increasing temperature differences between the land and water which create a pressure minimum over the land due to its relative warmth and forces higher pressure, cooler air from the sea to move inland.
