"Welcome Back Mone" has finally reached its final episode! This is also the end of this quiz.

This time, the question is based on one of the themes of the film: "The sea, the mountains, and the sky are all connected."
Difficulty level is ★★★★☆(4/5)!

"This sea breeze carries the sea water up the mountains. The wind creates clouds and brings rain to the mountains. The rain flows into the rivers and then returns to the sea."
(Summary of Monet's lines from episode 120)

This water circulation begins with the sea breeze blowing towards the mountains. The way this sea breeze blows changes depending on the weather of the day. So, under which of the following three conditions will the sea breeze blow the strongest?

• 
  Cold morning
  Incorrect
• 
  Sunny daytime
  Correct answer

  Sea breezes are winds that blow due to the difference in how easily the sea and land warm up.

  On a sunny day, the sea and land receive the same amount of energy from the sun. However, the sea requires more energy to warm up than the land. Because of this, even if the same amount of energy is provided, a temperature difference occurs between the sea and the land. This temperature difference is what causes wind to blow.

  

  Therefore, the sea breeze blows strongest when there is a lot of energy from the sun pouring down. The correct answer would be during the daytime on a sunny day, as seen in the final scene of the film.

  By the way, this sea breeze has a scale of 10 to 100 km, which is much smaller than the low and high pressure systems that we often hear about in weather forecasts.
  I think this was a fitting meteorological phenomenon for Monet, the film's protagonist, to talk about at the end, saying, "I want to protect the people close to me."

• 
  Before the rain
  Incorrect

MM

I got my qualifications at the same age as Monet, and experienced the same weather reporting as Monet during my university days. I noticed the fun and problems of it. I am now a graduate student researching ways to communicate weather in an enjoyable way. The last scene of "Welcome Back Monet" is so beautiful that I can't get it out of my head.
