Abstract: | Numerical studies of sea and lake breezes are reviewed. The modelled dependence of sea-breeze and lake-breeze characteristics
on the land surface sensible heat flux, ambient geostrophic wind, atmospheric stability and moisture, water body dimensions,
terrain height and slope, Coriolis parameter, surface roughness length, and shoreline curvature is discussed. Consensus results
on the influence of these geophysical variables on sea and lake breezes are synthesized as well as current gaps in our understanding.
A brief history of numerical modelling, an overview of recent high-resolution simulations, and suggestions for future research
related to sea and lake breezes are also presented. The results of this survey are intended to be a resource for numerical
modelling, coastal air quality, and wind power studies. |
