Breeze system

At these high pressure weather conditions, the sea breeze cloudiness is a familiar picture only directly at the coast. It is typical, too, that these particular cumulus clouds dissolve quickly toward the open Baltic Sea due to the prevailing down-welling of the air over the water. Because of often only weak thermal lift above the narrow and wooded coastal and island areas, however, this cloudiness is usually only weakly pronounced or does not appear at all. Also for this reason, these particular coastal regions have a longer duration of sunshine and thus a higher irradiation than the coastal hinterland. Usually in the late afternoon, the sea breeze system and concomitantly the whole seabreeze cloudiness breaks down. If hereafter a warm offshore breeze sets in, the daily maximum temperatures at the Baltic Sea coast occur only in the evening. 

On an average, the land and sea breeze system of the Baltic Sea is up to 200 m high, extends about 300 m toward the Baltic Sea and about 500 m into the hinterland. During the high pressure weather periods in May and June, when the Baltic Sea water is still relatively cold, the sea breeze system of the Baltic Sea is formed most intensively. If in such cases onshore gradient wind exists under certain weather conditions, it is significantly... 

Directly beneath the center of very strong highs, no sea breeze system is formed because the strong downwelling suppresses thermal uplift at the surface inside the high. 

Certain high pressure weather conditions with strong offshore breeze suppress the sea breeze formation. So it happens if, for example, at the southern Baltic Sea coast with southeast weather conditions, a strong gradient wind overcompensates the local sea breeze system. A strong directional gustiness and a change of the coastal wind speed results frequently from the counteraction of the two wind systems. 

The best example of local winds in the coastal zone is perhaps the land-sea breeze system. This coastal air-circulation system brings fresh air fi om the sea in the afternoon to cool coastal residents, whereas farther inland hot and still air is the general rule. On coasts and shores of relatively large lakes, because of the large diurnal temperature variations over land as compared to that over water, a diurnal reversal of onshore (sea breeze) and offshore (land breeze) wind occurs. 

An example of the sea-breeze system along the coasts of Texas and Louisiana is presented in Figs. 8 and 9.

FIGURE 9 Infrared imagery from the GOES satellite for Fig. 8. Two lines across the sea-breeze front are delineated, one in south Texas and the other in west Louisiana. They provide the horizontal temperature distribution of the cloud top at B (south Texas) and F (west Louisiana), sea surface (at D and H), and ground (at A, C, E, and G). Note that both B and F are located on the sea-breeze front. Also, there is 4°C difference between A and C as well as between E and G, indicating the advancing of cooler air onshore associated with the sea-breeze system. 

In the first reconstruction [27] of road slabs contaminated with CL, silicon iron anodes were embedded in a layer of coke breeze as shown in Fig. 19-4a or the current connection was achieved with noble metal wires in a conducting mineral bedding material. Slots were ground into the concrete surface for this purpose at spacings of about 0.3 m (see Fig. 19-4b). This system is not suitable for vertical structures.

The Aeromix BREEiZE is an air stripping system for removal of ex situ volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from aqueous waste streams. The BREEZE is commercially available and has been used in numerous remediations. 

The Aeromix BREEZE air stripping system is a transportable system designed with an aeration tank coupled with a blower. The aeration tank incorporates CYCLONE nonfouling, all stainless steel air diffusers that provide the air-to-water interface needed for stripping and contaminant removal. 

Work at the EPA Gulf Breeze Laboratory has demonstrated the potential usefulness of encapsulation in the bioremediation of PAHs. A model system has been developed in which a pure culture capable of degrading fluoranthene (strain EPA505) has been successfully encapsulated in polyurethane foam and polyvinyl alcohol (Baker et al., 1988). The capsules can be stored for several months at 4 °C with only minimal loss of viability. Upon addition of the capsules to moist soil, fluoranthene mineralization commenced in approximately the same way as observed when fresh bacterial cells were added to the soil. These results are shown in Figure 5.7a. Since the same inoculation size was used in all flasks during this experiment, the results suggest that the immobilization process does not significantly affect microbial activity. 

Today, burner manufacturers have access to all kinds of designs for pilot lights, to fit all shapes and sizes of burners and burner ports and draft systems from the smallest breeze to gale-force winds—there is no longer any excuse to operate without pilot lights installed and working.
