Wind & Climate Wind – the horizontal movement of air. Low pressure – warm air rising. High pressure – cold air falling. Winds always blow from high pressure.

Understanding Local Diurnal Winds Sea Breezes and Land Breezes dependent on the differences in heating and cooling between land and water. Upslope and downslope winds forced by the differences in heating and cooling between terrain and lowlands.

Sea and Land Breezes

Return Flow

Sea Breeze Front: leading edge of cooler air

Can See the Influence of Sea and Land Breezes on Clouds

Washington Coast Sea Breeze Front

Colliding Sea Breezes Can Produce Strong Upward Motion

Fig. 7-7, p. 176

Sea Breeze Winds Along the Southern Oregon Coast Gusts frequently reach knots during the summer during the afternoon. Very painful to stay on the beach! Strong pressure gradient normal to the coast between the warm land areas and the cold upwelling water.

2-minute average July-August winds along the Northwest coast.

Summer Diurnal Winds

The Sound Breeze Viewed Using Ferry Data

Picture take in Sequim looking N Strong Regional Sea Breeze Winds During the Summer

Land Breezes Tend to Be Weak in the Northwest Why? Because the land rarely cools down more than the water. Local minimum temperatures generally in the low to mid-50s…similar to the temperature of the Sound and the Pacific Ocean. But it can happen in winter during unusually cold periods.

Land Breeze example during a cold period.

Slope Winds

Slope Winds Upslope Flow on Heated Slopes Downslope Flow on Cooled Slopes

Low temperatures are generally cooler in low spots on cold, cloud-free nights.
