Large mesoscale convection and sea breeze circulation. Part II: Nonlinear numerical model

| Abstract: The nonlinear equations are applied to study the interactions between the sea breeze circulation and trapeze instability in low latitudes. The well-developed sea breeze circulation produced by the nonlinear model at coast is not so affected by the trapeze instability as shown in Part I of this study. However, the waves over the land are quite similar to those of Part I, buth with a smaller growth rate. This study suggests that a strong diurnal temperature variation over the land and/or the latent heat may be required to produce the observed cloud bands in the tropical continental region. |
