Ground Features of Sea Land Breezes in Hainan Island

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, based on the observed surface wind in 8 meteorological stations at coastal locations of Hainan Island, the frequency of sea-land breeze (SLB) is studied to depict the characteristics and spatial-temporal variation of the SLB. The statistics indicate that, because of the large variation in coastal terrain and orientation of the island, the number of SLB days and the duration of the SLB at different stations has significant regional difference and seasonal variations.
