These algorithms can detect individual bay breezes from observations and have been used to construct climatographies from large historical datasets ( Laird et al.
2015 Hughes and Veron 2018 Mazzuca et al. 2011 Stauffer and Thompson 2015 Stauffer et al. Many studies that have attempted to identify WB breezes from observations have used detection algorithms that consider time series of near-ground wind speed and direction, temperature, dewpoint, precipitation, and cloud coverage (e.g., Laird et al. Objectively identifying these breezes has been a necessary step in some of the previous studies about determining relationships between WB breezes and other atmospheric phenomena. 2011), and to trigger convective initiation ( Kingsmill 1995). Water-body breezes have also been shown to increase cloud development ( Loughner et al. The associated local, thermally direct circulations affect pollutant transport, with several studies showing higher pollution levels near the ground on days associated with WB breezes ( Lyons and Olsson 1973 Segal et al. (2010)-occur as a result of differential heating between a warmer land surface and a cooler body of water ( Miller et al. Bay, lake, and sea breezes-which we collectively call water-body (WB) breezes, following Segal and Pielke (1985) and Sikora et al.
