✦ Synopsis

South-western France (Aquitaine region) has an oceanic temperate climate but some climatic peculiarities (irregular patterns in isohyets) are observed along a narrow coastal belt. The spatial distribution of winter and summer precipitation shows a rainy strip located around 20 to 40 km inland. Three features allow an explanation of this distribution: synoptic flow, seabreeze and heterogeneous land roughness (presence of the Fore Λ†t des Landes). To take into account the impact of these features, numerical simulations are examined using a three-dimensional mesoscale model. The occurrence of the forest increases the possibility of precipitation during irregular patterns in isohyets.

## 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
