Sodar studies of sea breeze circulation of Indian coastline

Abstract

In addition to conventional meteorological techniques, acoustic remote sensing (sodar) has also been found to be a potential technique to study sea breeze circulation. Results of studies of sea breeze circulation on Indian coastline using acoustic remote sensing are presented. These results have been found to conform to observations made by conventional techniques. Sodar is simple, cost effective and dependable technique and provides continuous and real time data of onset time, duration and depth of the internal boundary layer during the flow of sea breeze at a coastal site.
