The winter land breeze (WLB) was studied in an area with complex totpography on the Swedish West Coast. The objectives are to show the horizontal and vertical extension of WLB in a complex landscape and to give a tentative climatology concerning
Simulation of the sea-breeze front with a model of moist convection
Even with a weak offshore background wind, the sea-breeze rapidly takes the form of a gravity current, with a well-defined head. The formation of clouds tends to strengthen the sea-breeze. The reason is that convective clouds form on the landward
side of the sea-breeze front, and evaporate at the seaward side. This implies the existence of an additional horizontal gradient in diabatic heating. (JPB).
The influence of the sea-land breeze regime on beach erosion and accretion: an exemple from Jamaica
Beach erosion and accretion on the Palisadoes, south-east Jamaica, is a diurnal phenomenon, caused by changes in wave form in response to the local sea-land breeze regime. Sea breezes generate destructive wave forms which remove sediment from
the foreshore. These waves decay when the land breeze operates, and sediment is returned to the foreshore by constructive wave action. For this area, meteorological data are a satisfactory substitute for wave data in prediction of short-term beach erosion

The aim of this paper is to describe the time and space variations of the ozone in a coastal urban area. The sea breezes and the land breezes are important to explain the pollutant's transport and in their distribution. - (BJ)
by those of meteorological stations in the suburbs. Heat islands are recognised and described under the four groups: calm-light air clear night type, light breeze clear sky type, gentle-moderate breeze clear sky type, and cloudy type. (TNC).
with the wind anomalies will enable to determine the relative importance of atmospheric circulation patterns of different scales (breezes, monsoons and their interactions).
