ABSTRACT

This article reviews the recent 40 aResearch on remote sensing analysis of sea breeze fronts, summarizes the satellite identification and remote sensing analysis of sea breeze fronts Application of methods and techniques in the three-dimensional structure and evolution of sea breeze fronts. The results show that remote sensing research on sea breeze fronts has been carried out in many places. carried out in the region and achieved some important results; the remote sensing analysis methods of sea breeze fronts mainly include visible light image cloud line detection and thermal infrared radiation detection. Scatter meter wind field detection 3 types; detecting sea breeze fronts based on the appearance of clouds in visible light images and the propagation speed of clouds is still the current method The main means of remote sensing research on sea breeze fronts. Furthermore, based on existing research, some issues are raised that deserve further attention.
