Anti-sea breeze
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-003571
A localized wind system that blows from land to sea, typically occurring at night or in the early morning hours, opposite to the direction of a sea breeze. It develops when the land cools more rapidly than the adjacent sea, creating a pressure gradient that drives air offshore. This phenomenon is also known as a land breeze.
