Description:Although they are a fairly consistent feature, the sea-breeze and lake-breeze convergence lines and the associated convection over south Florida during the summer may vary considerably from day-to-day. An examination of the daily convective patterns indicates that there are a few basic recurring patterns. Analyses of radiosonde data show significant differences in the local thermodynamic parameters, most notably the specific humidity. Changes in the synoptic scale wind field correspond closely to changes in the observed convective patterns and the local thermodynamic conditions. Explanation of the formation and development of the different patterns of convection are given in terms of the complex interaction between the regional-, synoptic-, peninsular- and local- scale circulations.
