My preferred wind model for the east coast of Australia is the ECMWF model, however, I this model does not predict the typical land and sea breezes that I experience. In Queensland in winter, the prevailing wind is SE, however, there is often a SW land breeze in the early morning which does not show on any of the models. Similarly, on the south east coast of Tasmania an afternoon SE sea breeze is a very frequent occurrence, but again, does not show on any of the models. E.g., today, this afternoon (07FEB2023), the model shows a diminishing SW to SSW wind but there is a 12-18 knot SE sea breeze. In regions where land and sea breezes are a common occurrence, why don't the models predict these??
