A meteorological feature in Shonan campus of Tokai University

Abstract

Although we experienced much snow in January 1998 at Kanto area, we had not seen remarkable snow accumulation in Shonan campus of the Tokai University and its environs. In order to clarify the reason, observed wind data at 10th building of the campus were compared with the AMEDAS data at surrounding sites in 1998. it is found that monthly mean land-sea breeze component can be seen commonly in monthly mean daily change of southerly wind ol Kanagawa prefecture. As an interesting feature of meteorological properties of the Shonan campus of Tokai University, it may be pointed out that the sea breeze component is dominant even in the winter season.
