The operating ranges of mesoscale numerical models and meteorological wind tunnels for sea-and land-breeze simulations are defined in this paper based on a review of the theoretical and practical limitations of these two approaches. Numerical-model operating ranges are limited by the choice of governing equations, the numerical methods used to solve the governing equations, the scales of the surface or atmospheric forcing and the atmospheric response, the specified grid resolution and domain size, and the available computer resources. Wind-tunnel operating ranges are limited by the dimensions of the simulated circulations and of the tunnel itself, the tunnel flow speed and turbulence characteristics, the temperature gradients within the tunnel, the lack of Coriolis force and moist processes, and the characteristics of the measurement instrumentation. The operating ranges of these two simulation methods are shown to overlap. In this common range, results of simulations from both approaches can be compared so as to strengthen the validity of the results and to help in the development and improvement of parameterizations of physical processes in numerical models. In addition, the coupling of meteorological wind tunnels and mesoscale numerical models offers a larger range of operating conditions than can be achieved by either approach alone. Together, they can be used in a hybrid form to predict atmospheric conditions at the scale of a few meters for complex terrain (e.g., buildings, hills, etc.) within larger mesoscale atmospheric flow regimes. In the case of sea and land breezes, the sea-land transition zone and coastal internal boundary layer can be studied using both approaches.

The purpose of this report is to give a general review of recent studies of local climate as mechanically and thermally characterized by the effects of topography. Unprece dented information on local climate has been obtained using new instruments and techniques, but to understand it in more detail, we need to synthesize and systematize the information in numerous case studies. Therefore, cooperative study pursued by researchers who have the same or similar aims, or by observers and modelers, are thought necessary. Although more than 60 papers are introduced in this review, half of them were written by a single author, and there are no cooperative studies among them. This indicates that the approaches to the study of local climate are insufficient. It is expected that cooperative studies in this area will be planned for the future.
