Abstract

The simulations are conducted in WRF mesoscale model by choosing the two-way interaction option, so that the information of outer domain of grid spacing with 18 km horizontal resolution can influence the atmospheric systems that occur in the innermost domain of grid spacing 2km horizontal resolution. The features of sea breeze circulation are discussed using air temperature, wind direction and wind speed observed at surface (about 10 m) level. The analysis was carried out considering non-rainy days in the representative months of April and May.
