This study analyzed the observational data;ECMWF Era-interim datasets;data of wind towers located along the Jiangsu coast line;assimilated precipitation data;sea/land breezes (SLB);and sea-breeze fronts (SBF) in the Jiangsu coastal regions,and the stimulating processes of the SBF for strong convections were numerically simulated.The results showed that the SBFs mainly appeared under high pressure systems,or in the edge parts of high-pressure systems where there were steady weather backgrounds.The SBFs were classified into two types as follows:The SBF Type I were located around the westward extending parts of subtropical highs over the sea;and the SBF Type Ⅱ were located under continental high-pressure systems entering the sea,in which their circulations usually had several more local systems and were accompanied by strong convective systems.The vertical cross-sections of the SBF events showed that the u-component of the east winds at low levels formed the frontal edges of the cold air masses from sea.This impacted the positions and intensities of the lifting motion of the SBF fronts.The secondary circulation of the SBF formed unstable environments.It was observed that when the SBF in coastal areas met the inland convective systems,it stimulated and enhanced the local convection.The data analyses of wind towers showed that the features of the time series of the SBF winds included sudden changes in wind directions and increases in wind speeds.The local systems' convective available potential energy (CAPE) showed that the meeting of the CAPE high value inland and SBF could potentially increase the local CAPE values.When a vapor convergence center was present,a local stimulating condition was built for the SBF acting on the convective systems.The numerical simulation showed that the horizontal distribution of the CAPE,and the release which met the SBF and strong convection inland.Meanwhile,the vertical profiles of the CAPE indicated the increase,release,and duration of the strong convection energy stimulated by the SBF.It was determined that the release action was fast,and the duration was approximately two hours.
