Abstract
The physics of land and sea breezes are presented. This includes how they develop in calm conditions and the effect on these mesoscale wind circulations under larger scale wind flow. This article discusses, for example, how light offshore large-scale flow at the coast can amplify the magnitude of low wind convergence associated with a sea breeze, while a stronger wind can prevent the sea breeze from even developing. The reason that the land breeze is a shallower atmospheric feature is presented.
