[Le] vent de terre [...] dont le clapot qu'il provoque éventuellement va vers le large ce qui ne lui permet pas de créer de turbulence à la côte. En règle générale, le vent de terre est beaucoup moins fort, en un lieu donné, que le vent de mer, parce qu'il a été constamment freiné par la rugosité des paysages terrestres. Il n'a de vigueur véritable qu'en pays désertique, où il est généralement lié aux alizés. Le vent de terre, quand il est assez vigoureux, éloigne de la côte les eaux superficielles et provoque l'«upwelling». 5, record 1, French, - vent%20de%20terre
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
Les vents donnant naissance à ces courants sont appelés vent d'afflux ou de reflux selon qu'ils ont tendance à pousser l'eau vers les côtes ou à l'entraîner vers le large [...] Les vents de reflux sont à l'origine du phénomène d'upwelling [...] 3, record 1, French, - vent%20de%20terre
