Numerical analysis of the sea (lake) breeze dynamics and initialization of the model

In this paper, analysed are the effects of synoptic wind, earth-rotation inertia and land surface roughness on sea (lake) breeze process, on the basis of the calculated results of a 2-D primitive equation model with turbulent energy closure.The results show that a moderate background wind field acts as a trigger for sea (lake) breeze onset, and presents prominent effect on the breeze intensity, inland advance rate and structure feature.The effects of Coriolis force not only make the breeze veering round, but also damp the development of the breeze component normal to shore.
The paper also discussed the dynamic method of wind field initialization based on one-site radiosonde.Three approaches of initialization have been tested.In comparison, it was found that the approach of one-dimensional dynamic initialization with nudging term was preferable to the others.
