Continuous detection and characterization of the Sea Breeze in clear sky conditions using Meteosat Second Generation

The sea breeze (SB) is a thermally induced boundary layer phenomenon that occurs at coastal locations throughout the world. Previous satellite remote sensing studies used low-level clouds formed over the sea-breeze convergence zones to identify the SB. In this study continuous thermal infrared data...
