🌧️ Monsoon Land-Sea Heat-Capacity Contrast Lab: Seasonal Wind Reversal and Rainfall
A coast with ocean on one side and land on the other. Slab energy balances give land a big, early seasonal temperature swing and the sea a small, late one; a 2-D moist Boussinesq atmosphere turns that contrast into a sea-breeze circulation that reverses with the season and rains on the land. Vary sea depth, soil wetness, sunshine and plateau heating.
