Theprofile at the bottom of the diagram shows substan-tially the hill obstruction which the sea breeze en-counters in its northeasterly course. (I need scarcelymention that the summer heat of the interior landsurface, lying to the eastward, rarifies and raises theatmosphere there and draws in the cooler atmospherefrom the adjacent ocean, just as heated air over thefire rises in the chimney and draws in the cooler airfrom about the fireplace.)
