“Breeze and Climate” explores the significant yet often overlooked role of breezes in shaping regional climates and impacting our daily lives. The book highlights how these localized winds, driven by differential heating, influence temperature distribution, humidity, and precipitation patterns. Intriguingly, breezes can moderate urban heat and affect agricultural productivity in valley regions, making their study crucial for effective resource management.
The book begins by explaining the science behind breeze formation before examining specific breeze types like sea breezes, land breezes, and mountain-valley breezes, detailing their impact on diverse geographical locations. Through observational data, climate models, and case studies, the approach balances scientific rigor with accessibility, making it valuable for anyone interested in Earth Sciences, Geography, and Environment.
It culminates by discussing the practical implications of understanding breeze patterns for urban planning, agriculture, and climate change mitigation.
