摘要：

[1] Differences between morning and evening winds from QuikSCAT scatterometer measurements are analyzed to diagnose the diurnal variability of the wind over the ocean. A statistically significant signal, associated with the sea breeze, is present along most of the world's coastlines. Significant diurnal variability is also present mid-ocean in the easterly trade wind belts.
