Study reveals sea-breeze effects on surface wind related to temperature differences at coastal stations, suggesting new forecasting methods.
Cases where the land-sea temperature difference gives rise to modification of the surface wind as a sea-breeze effect at the Royal Australian Navy Air Station, Nowra, New South Wales, have been studied for the period 1958 to 1977. A relationship is found between the strength of the sea-breeze component and the land-sea temperature difference, and estimates are found for the penetration inland of this effect. These relationships can be used to forecast variation of surface winds due to the sea-breeze at near-coastal stations.
