Meteorological processes in coastal regions are increasingly studied phenomena. Understanding current coastal meteorological processes is essential for projecting future analyses of coastal zones as well as forecasting current and near future conditions, emergency management, risk analysis, and mitigation efforts. Additionally, many major metropolitan areas are built along coasts, and almost 40 percent of Americans live in coastal zones. This session will endeavor to explore observations, numerical modeling, and impact of coastal meteorological processes. Areas of interest include but are not limited to convective initiation in coastal environments, climatology of synoptic and/or mesoscale events, sea-breeze and other coastal wind analyses, robust data analysis and insights from field campaigns, processes that enhance coastal meteorological occurrences, and understanding cloud physics/dynamics in coastal environments.
