Abstract

AbstractA method of identifying sea‐breeze fronts by remote sensing (visible and infrared data from the GOES‐8 satellite) was applied to north‐eastern Brazil. The aim of the study was to estimate the frequency of observed sea‐breeze fronts and the average distance they penetrate inland at 1800 UTC. During the dry season (between September and December) in 2000, the highest frequency of sea‐breeze fronts was recorded on the northern fringe of the study area. The sea‐breeze fronts penetrated furthest inland between September and November, with a maximum distance from the coast at Ceará of 100 km. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
