Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
L'échauffement du sol continental, dès le milieu de la matinée, crée un phénomène ascendant compensé par un courant qui s'établit de la mer, plus froide, vers la terre; la brise cesse en fin d'après-midi. La brise de mer se présente comme une mini-advection d'air froid avec sa surface frontale appelé «front de brise». La brise se manifeste sur 500 à 1 000 mètres d'épaisseur avec une vitesse de 10 à 15 Kt et pénètre sur quelques kilomètres à quelques dizaines de kilomètres à l'intérieur des terres, elle est perpendiculaire à la côte. 3, record 1, French, - brise%20de%20mer

Brise de terre. La nuit [...] la terre perd sa chaleur plus rapidement que la mer. Un gradient de pression et de température s'établit lorsque la terre devient plus froide que la mer et il se crée une basse pression sur la mer. Afin de combler le vide relatif de cette basse pression, un écoulement d'air s'établit de la terre vers la mer. 3, record 2, French, - brise%20de%20terre
