Learning on ScreenHorizontal and Vertical Motion Fields in Sea Breeze Circulation: Numerical Simulation
- Synopsis
- The sea-breeze circulation over Florida is described using observed winds and inferences from the convergence lines which are related to the topography of the coastlines and Lake Okeechobee. The main part of the video is a numerical simulation of this system using the numerical sea-breeze circulation model developed by R A Pielke, University of Virginia. Horizontal and vertical wind-flows throughout the day are displayed and the results compared closely with what is observed.
