[1] The sea breeze system (SBS) occurs at coastal locations throughout the world and consists of many spatially and temporally nested phenomena. Cool marine air propagates inland when a cross-shore mesoscale (2–2000 km) pressure gradient is created by daytime differential heating. The circulation is also characterized by rising currents at the sea breeze front and diffuse sinking currents well ...

Land-sea recirculation such as bay and sea-breezes are important local circulations that facilitate pollution events. Measurements over a marine site in the Chesapeake Bay revealed evolution of two bay-breeze events associated ozone vertical structure. The horizontal structure was detailed using scanning Doppler wind lidar measurements ground-based used to characterize distribution ozone. on 29...

There is growing interest in sustainability, sustainable development, and sustainable transportation. This paper identifies issues related to the definition, evaluation and implementation of sustainable transportation. Significant issues include the range of definitions of sustainability, the range of issues considered under sustainability, the range of perspectives, criticism of sustainability...

The Effects of Lake Breezes on Weather (ELBOW) 2001 was a field experiment conducted from May 1 to August 31, 2001 in southwestern Ontario. The project was a collaborative effort of the Meteorological Service of Canada, York University, University of Western Ontario and University of Guelph Ridgetown College. Other contributing agencies were The Weather Network and the US National Weather Servi...

Digitally presenting physiological signals as biofeedback to users raises awareness of both body and mind. This paper describes the effectiveness of conveying a physiological signal often overlooked for communication: breathing. We present the design and development of digital breathing patterns and their evaluation along three output modalities: visual, audio, and haptic. We also present Breez...

[1] Differences between morning and evening winds from QuikSCAT scatterometer measurements are analyzed to diagnose the diurnal variability of the wind over the ocean. A statistically significant signal, associated with the sea breeze, is present along most of the world’s coastlines. Significant diurnal variability is also present mid-ocean in the easterly trade wind belts.
