Land Breezes begin with the cooling of low-level air
On clear, calm evenings, temperature differences between a body of water and neighboring land produce a cool wind that blows offshore. This wind is called a "land breeze".

Land Breeze
A local offshore wind. At night, when the land cools more quickly, and to a greater extent, than the sea, the land breeze circulation is set up.
Cooler air from the land flows offshore to replace the warm air rising over the sea.
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.
Land Breeze - a breeze from land to sea, caused by the temperature difference when the sea surface is warmer than the adjacent land

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
A coastal breeze at night blowing from land to sea, caused by the difference in the rates of cooling of their respective surfaces.

A coastal breeze at night blowing from land to sea, caused by the difference in the rates of cooling of their respective surfaces.
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.
LAND BREEZE: A wind that blows from the land towards a body of water. Also known as an offshore breeze.
LA NINA: A cooling of the equatorial waters in the Pacific Ocean.
Land breeze: A wind that blows offshore, from land to water.
Lapse rate: The decrease of temperature with increasing altitude.
Latent heat: The amount of heat taken in or released by water when it changes phase.
Land Breeze- a coastal breeze that blows from land out to sea, and is the result of temperature differences when the sea is warmer then the adjacent land.
Land breeze A coastal breeze that blows from land to sea, usually at night.
Lapse rate The rate at which an atmospheric variable (usually temperature) decreases with height. (See Environmental lapse rate.) ...
Land breeze A relatively cool mesoscale surface wind directed from land to sea or land to lake in response to differential cooling between land and a body of water; develops at night.
land breeze—A coastal breeze blowing from land to sea, caused by temperature difference when the sea surface is warmer than the adjacent land.
Land Breeze A nocturnal coastal breeze that blows from land to sea. In the evening the water may be warmer than the land, causing pressure differences. The land breeze is the flow of air from land to sea equalizing these pressure differences.
Land Breeze - A local wind blowing from the land toward the sea during the night in coastal areas.
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.
Land breeze
A small-scale wind circulation set off by differences in water and land temperatures along the coast. The land breeze develops at night and always blows from the land. Its counterpart is the sea breeze.

LAND BREEZE - A breeze, usually occurring in the evening, that blows from land to sea.
coromell"A land breeze from the south at La Paz, Mexico, near the south of the Gulf of California, prevailing from November to May. It sets in at night and usually persists until 9 or 10 ...
It blows in the opposite direction of a land breeze. 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.
Also known as a land breeze.Offshore FlowOccurs when air moves from land to sea, and is usually associated with dry weather.
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.
At night, conditions are reversed, and the warm "land breeze" blows from land to sea. This alternation brings pleasant weather to a narrow strip of land along the coast, including moisture from the sea to an often arid land.
At night, the air over the land cools faster than that over the nearby ocean and causes the air circulation to be in the opposite direction - a land breeze.
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.
ranging from a few to several hundred kilometers, including thunderstorms, squall lines, fronts, precipitation bands in tropical and extratropical cyclones, and topographically generated weather systems such as mountain waves and sea and land breezes.

DIURNAL - An event that occurs daily, such as daytime heating due to solar insolation. Convective systems, such as sea / land breeze development, which develop in the late afternoon and dissipate at night, are DIURNAL events.
They also occur over warm water and may be associated with the seaward extent of the overnight land breeze.NOGAPSNavy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System; a 144-hour numerical model of the atmosphere run by the U.S. Navy twice daily.
