Abstract
A numerical simulation was carried out to investigate characteristics of sea breeze intrusion into the Fukuoka Metropolitan area using the Advanced Regional Prediction System (ARPS). The results were compared with sea breeze field data obtained on August 2, 2003. The sea breeze front runs parallel to the coastline at the beginning of the sea breeze intrusion; however, as it moves inland, the two-dimensional front becomes wavy and breaks. The sea breeze consists of a tail of about 600 m thickness and head height of 1000 m or higher. The head is accompanied by a pair of upward and downward currents that reach to about 2000 m altitude.
