Field notes for moving air

Wind Notes

A small notebook about coastal breezes, pressure shifts, and the weather patterns that shape a clear day.

Reading a Sea Breeze

Late morning heating often turns a calm shoreline into a steady onshore flow. Watch temperature contrast, cloud bases, and the first ripples on sheltered water.

Pressure and Direction

Small pressure gradients can make a large difference when the surface is open. The best observations pair a barometer trend with notes on gust timing.

Calm Windows

Before sunrise, terrain and water often settle into a quiet layer. Those windows are short, useful, and worth recording carefully.
