Abstract

Land‐ and sea‐breeze circulations are simulated in a mathematical model, using a stably stratified atmosphere as a basic state. The results show that the land‐breeze is weaker than the sea‐breeze even although the heat contrast at the coast is identical in both cases. This is consistent with estimates of the corresponding model energy available potential.

## Abstract The diurnal wind variation over the East Asian continent is commonly considered to be a combination of a land‐sea breeze near the coast and a mountain–valley breeze along the slopes of the Tibetan Plateau. The local land–sea breeze along the coastline typically spans < 100 km into the o
