Abstract:Sea Breeze Front (SBF) is the landward edge of sea breeze circulation,which has similar characteristics to the cold front.SBF has always been a key object of coastal meteorological research since it can trigger strong convection even disastrous weather such as thunderstorms in coastal areas.Numerical simulation has become an important tool in meteorological research with the rapid development of numerical models and computer technology.The numerical simulation of SBF has attracted much attention and yielded fruitful results.Here,we summarize the numerical simulation of SBF carried out in China in the past 40 years,and detail on the effects of environmental flow,topography,urban heat island and atmosphere stability on SBF.In addition,the influence of physical parameterization on SBF and the work of large eddy simulation are summarized.Finally,we sum up some issues which are needed to be addressed for further study.
