Sea Breezes a result of uneven surface heating
When spending a day at the beach, a noticeable drop in temperature may occur during the early afternoon as a cool breeze begins to blow off of the water.
Sea-breezes in Florida
Thunderstorms caused by powerful sea breeze fronts frequently occur in Florida, a peninsula surrounded on both the east and west by the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, respectively.

breeze - 1. In general, a light wind. In the Beaufort wind scale, this is a wind between 4 and 10 kt (4 and 12 mph). 2.
Breeze
(1) In general, a light moderate wind (2) On the Beaufort Scale, a wind speed ranging from 4 knots (lower limit of "light breeze") to 27 knots (upper limit of "strong breeze").
sea breeze"A coastal local wind that blows from sea to land, caused by the temperature difference when the sea surface is colder than the adjacent land.
Sea breeze
A local onshore wind. Cooler air from over the sea flows onto the shore to replace the warm air rising over the land. On sunny days the land heats up more quickly, and to a greater extent, than the sea.
Sea Breeze - a cooling breeze blowing generally in the daytime inland from the sea, caused by the temperature difference when the sea surface is cooler than the adjacent land ...
SEA BREEZE FRONT
A coastal phenomena, it is restricted to large bodies of water and their immediate coast lines. This is usually the landward extent of the sea breeze.
Sea Breeze Convergence Zone
The zone at the leading edge of a sea breeze where winds converge. The incoming air rises in this zone, often producing convective clouds.
Sea Breeze Front ...
Sea Breeze A current of air flowing inland, associated with warmer surface temperatures inland than at sea. Often shows up as a long, thin radar feature as insects get caught up in the frontal region.
sea breeze: wind blowing from the ocean to land at the coast, due to the cool air replacing the warmer air that has moved up on the coastline.
sea level: the imaginary line from which sea depth and land elevation are measured.
SEA BREEZE: A wind that blows from a sea or ocean towards a land mass. Also known as an onshore breeze.
SEA SURFACE TEMPERATURE (SST): Surface temperature data collected using IR satellite imagery, buoy and ship data.
Sea Breeze- a coastal breeze that blows from sea to land during daytime in summer, that is caused by warm air rising over land and being replaced by cooler air from over the sea.
Sea Breeze - Sea breezes occur during the daytime in warm sunny weather when the air over a land is heated more rapidly than that over an adjacent water surface.
Sea breeze A coastal local wind that at the surface blows from the ocean onto the land.
Sea level pressure The atmospheric pressure at mean sea level.
Sea breeze A coastal local wind that blows from the ocean onto the land. The leading edge of the breeze is termed a sea breeze front.
Sea level pressure The atmospheric pressure at mean sea level.
Semiarid See Steppe.
Sea breeze A relatively cool mesoscale surface wind directed from sea toward land in response to differential heating of land and sea; develops during daylight hours.
Second law of thermodynamics All systems tend toward disorder.
sea breeze—A coastal breeze blowing from sea to land, caused by the temperature difference when the land surface is warmer than the sea surface. Compare land breeze.
Sea Breeze Local coastal wind that blows from the ocean to land. Sea breezes usually occur during the day, because the heating differences of land and sea cause pressure differences.

Land breeze
A coastal breeze which flows from land to sea, usually at night. It forms as continental air cools below the temperature of a nearby maritime airmass and sets up a thermally driven circulation.
LAKE BREEZE
An onshore wind at the lake shore that results due to differences in heating during the day. The land warms quicker than the water, so an area of low pressure forms. The water remains cool, where high pressure develops.
LAND BREEZE A diurnal coastal breeze that blows offshore, from the land to the sea. It is caused by the temperature difference when the sea surface is warmer than the adjacent land. Predominate during the night, it reaches its maximum about dawn.
Land breeze - night wind blowing across a beach onto the water. Sea breeze - midday wind blowing across a beach onto the land. Both of these winds blow on the warmer surface.
Lake breeze: A wind that blows onshore during the day around large lakes.
La Niņa: An extensive, below normal cooling of the central and eastern tropical Pacifice Ocean
Land breeze: A wind that blows offshore, from land to water.
Light Breeze: Wind felt on face; leaves rustle; wind vanes moved by wind; small wavelets form on water, still short, but more pronounced; crests have glassy appearance.

Land Breeze - A local wind blowing from the land toward the sea during the night in coastal areas.
Breeze - A light wind.

SEABREEZE - A wind from sea to land that sets up during the day near large bodies of water.
SECTIONAL - A chart or map showing airports, airways, terrain features and airspace limitations.
SEABREEZE - A wind which blows off a large body of water due to the air over land heating up faster than that over the water. May also occur over large lakes as a LAKE BREEZE.
SEA BREEZE: A local wind that blows from a sea or ocean towards land. It is caused by the temperature difference between cool air above the water and the warmer land. The leading edge of the breeze is termed a sea breeze front.
Sea breeze
A small-scale wind circulation set off by differences in water and land temperatures along the coast. The sea breeze develops during the daytime and always blows from the sea. Its counterpart is the land breeze.

Sea breeze: a thermally produced wind blowing during the day from a cool ocean surface onto the adjoining warm land, caused by the difference in the rates of heating of the surfaces of the ocean and of the land.

Was a sea breeze front involved? This can sometimes be inferred by a change in humidity (it should 'feel' more humid), and there may be a line of precursor cumulus development, with a change in visibility and wind direction perhaps.
The doctor is also used in the African tropics to describe a sea breeze which generally brings cool relief from the heat generated in the interior of the continent.
COROMELL The prevailing evening land breeze which takes place from November to May in the vicinity of La Paz, at the southern tip of Baja California, Mexico.
ANABATIC WIND
A wind that is created by air flowing uphill. Valley breezes, produced by local daytime heating, are an example of these winds. The opposite of a katabatic wind.
DIURNAL EFFECTS- A reference to an effect that has its origins due to daytime heating, such as afternoon cumulus cloud development or the formation of a lake/sea breeze. These phenomena dissipate once the sun goes down and surface heating is lost.
Mesoscale - A middle-sized event that usually is measured in 10's of miles and hours of time; a thunderstorm-sized phenomenon; e.g. thunderstorms and sea breeze circulations.
