Document Summary
First wind is towards the ground, and the other is towards the top. Land sea breeze is related to surface heating; whenever there is a temperature difference, there is pressure different, circulation associated with day-night contrast diurnal variation. Daytime: solar radiation extra energy which warms surface; air rises over land and moves toward the ocean, and sinks over the ocean. To complete the circulation the air that is sinking over the water body picks up the cool moisture and brings it back to the land mass. The breeze that"s coming from the water to land mass is much colder than the breeze that is going from land to water. Sea breeze mitigates the temperature that you feel colder near water. Brings in localized precipitation because of the lake breeze/ sea breeze front. These fronts are much shallower than mid-latitude cyclones.
