Abstract
We suggest that, in situations where the wind is blowing from land to sea, the wind experiences some sort of inertial oscillations. This is shown by using a simplified version of the equations in the atmospheric boundary layer. In order to confirm that this effect can be present in a typical climate and weather prediction model, we have used the one-column version of the ECMWF global model. The model was used in a “Lagrangian” framework, being advected at constant speed from land to sea. Inertial oscillations, in the wind at 10 metres above the surface, are produced by this simulation. This confirms the initial conjecture. Considering the mean wind speed, the time required by the surface boundary layer to adapt to the new (from land to sea) situation is of the order of a few hours.
