Description
The sea breeze affects our lives in many ways; it controls our local weather, not only on the coast but also in many districts inland. Air pollution and smog, the distribution of air-borne insect pests and the spread of pollen are all controlled by the sea breeze. In the world of sport it is important to glider pilots, sailors and surfers, and balloonists. In this book we see how radar, lidar and satellite photography have helped to forecast and map the sea breeze and the all important 'sea-breeze front'. The book ends with a description of laboratory experiments, mostly carried out by the author and his co-workers, and a simple summary of theoretical models. This book will be welcomed by those researching in the subject but will also be valuable to the general reader who is interested in local weather and the natural environment.
