|a In this paper we examine the variations of the boreal summer season sea breeze
circulation along the Florida panhandle coast from relatively high resolution (10 km)
regional climate model integrations. The 23 year climatology (1979–2001) of the
multidecadal dynamically downscaled simulations forced by the National Centers for
Environmental Prediction–Department of Energy (NCEP‐DOE) Reanalysis II at the lateral
boundaries verify quite well with the observed climatology. The variations at diurnal and
interannual time scales are also well simulated with respect to the observations. We show
from composite analyses made from these downscaled simulations that sea breezes in
northwestern Florida are associated with changes in the size of the Atlantic Warm Pool
(AWP) on interannual time scales. In large AWP years when the North Atlantic
Subtropical High becomes weaker and moves further eastward relative to the small AWP
years, a large part of the southeast U.S. including Florida comes under the influence of
relatively strong anomalous low‐level northerly flow and large‐scale subsidence
consistent with the theory of the Sverdrup balance. This tends to suppress the diurnal
convection over the Florida panhandle coast in large AWP years. This study is also an
illustration of the benefit of dynamic downscaling in understanding the low‐frequency
variations of the sea breeze. |
