sea breeze

sea breeze
The wind that blows from the sea to the land during the daytime. During the daytime, the land is warmer than the sea and the resultant pressure gradient between the two surfaces sets a light wind that blows from the land to the sea. At night, the reverse takes place, resulting in the land breeze. See land and sea breeze.
