Strength of Sea-Breeze Circulation
•Use the following value for the typical sea-land
contrast:
•
p0 = 1000 hPa
p1 = 900 hPa
•
T2 − T1 = 10◦
C
•
L = 20 km
h = 1 km
•We obtain an acceleration of about 7 × 10−3 ms−2
for an acceleration of sea-breeze circulation driven by the
solenoidal effect of sea-land
temperature contrast.
