Land breezes alternate with sea breezes along coastlines adjacent to large bodies of water. Both are induced by differences that occur between the heating or cooling of the water surface and the adjacent land surface. The land breeze is typically shallower than the sea breeze since the cooling of the atmosphere over land is confined to a shallower layer at night than the heating of the air during the day. Since the surface flow of the land breeze terminates over water, a region of low-level air convergence is produced. Locally, such convergence often induces the upward movement of air, fostering the development of clouds. Therefore, it is not uncommon to see clouds lying off the coast at night, which are later dissipated by the daytime sea breeze.]]> 2018-11-15 20:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bsd220/vww86ncrulmt/wish/305025607 lphelps15_1 https://padlet.com/bsd220/vww86ncrulmt/wish/305026065 a breeze blowing toward the sea from the land, especially at night, owing to the relative warmth of the sea.]]> 2018-11-15 20:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bsd220/vww86ncrulmt/wish/305026065 lphelps15_1 https://padlet.com/bsd220/vww86ncrulmt/wish/305026224 Atmospheric Pressure and Winds.
