TLDR
In this paper, the development and movement of sea breezes under the influence of a thermally induced synoptic coastal trough and coastal terrain are simulated in the context of an extensive observational data set.Abstract:
The development and movement of sea breezes under the influence of a thermally induced synoptic coastal trough and coastal terrain are simulated. These simulations are analyzed in the context of an extensive observational data set. The synoptic trough acts to determine the presence and intensity of the sea breeze through the advection of warm air in the surface layer whereas local topography acts to enhance the breeze and turn the low-level flow. Interaction between the sea breeze circulation and the trough assists trough movement across the coastline.read more

An observational and numerical study of the effects of the late sea breeze on ozone distributions in the Busan metropolitan area, Korea
TL;DR: The late sea breeze (LSB), defined as a sea breeze with an onset time later than 1200 LST, and its impact on O3 concentration distributions have been investigated both observationally and numerically over the Busan metropolitan area in Korea as discussed by the authors.

Recirculation of coastal urban air pollution under a synoptic scale thermal trough in Perth, Western Australia
Ma Yimin,Ma Yimin,T.J. Lyons +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a thermally induced synoptic scale trough interacts with this local circulation to enhance the sea breeze flow, allowing pollutant to penetrate further inland, and a low wind speed zone formed offshore near the trough axis leads to increased ozone concentrations.

General circulation experiments with the primitive equations
TL;DR: In this article, an extended period numerical integration of a baroclinic primitive equation model has been made for the simulation and the study of the dynamics of the atmosphere's general circulation, and the solution corresponding to external gravitational propagation is filtered by requiring the vertically integrated divergence to vanish identically.
