A Numerical Model and Its Simulation of the Land and Sea Breeze over the Taiwan Strait
台湾海峡海陆风数值模式与数值模拟试验

In this paper, a two-dimensional 46-level numerical inelastic model of the land and sea breeze with the horizontal and vertical diffusion and the Newtonian cooling is designed and used to simulate and investigate the formation and the variations of the land-sea breeze over the Taiwan Strait. The numerical model consists of solar radiation, long-wave radiation and their diurnal variations, upward sensitive and latent heating on the surface, and thermal conductance in the soil layers, etc. Splitting method and implicit time difference scheme are used in the numerical calculation. And the simulation results are consistent with the observations, indicating that the numerical model can describe the variation features of the land and sea breeze over both coasts of the Taiwan Strait.
