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.

Lake Breeze
A thermally produced wind blowing during the day from the surface of a large lake to the shore, caused by the difference in the rates of heating of the surfaces of the lake and of the land.

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.
Lake breeze A wind blowing onshore from the surface of a lake.
Lake-effect snows Localized snowstorms that form on the downwind side of a lake.
Lake breeze A relatively cool mesoscale surface wind directed from a lake toward land in response to differential heating between land and lake; develops during daylight hours.

Lake Breeze: Wind which forms over a lake and moves towards the land which developes during the day.
Land Breeze: Air (Wind) moving from the land out to sea. Begins in the late evening reaches max just before sunrise and is weaker than a Sea Breeze.
Differential heating is the motive force behind land breezes and sea breezes (or, in the case of larger lakes, lake breezes), also known as on- or off-shore winds.
Lake/Land Breeze A lake breeze occurs when prevailing winds blow off the water, while a land breeze indicates winds blowing from land to sea. Both are caused by the difference in surface temperature (heating) of the land and water.
Circulation Cell: A "package" of air with a distinct circulation pattern, i.e., a lake breeze.
May also occur over large lakes as a LAKE BREEZE. Winds blowing towards the body of water because of the water being warmer is called a LAND BREEZE. Common over the tropics and during the hot summer months.
calm, sunny, summer days, and alternates with the oppositely directed, usually weaker, nighttime land breeze. As the sea breeze regime progresses, the wind develops a component parallel to the coast, owing to the Coriolis deflection. See lake breeze, ...
It is used to estimate turbulence associated with boundaries, thunderstorms, and mesocyclones; check the reliability of the velocity estimates; and locate boundaries (cold front, outflow, lake breeze, etc.).
