This will create land & sea breezes.\n\nLand (sand) gains & loses heat faster than water due to water's latent heat properties.\n\nDuring the day, the land heats up faster than the water. A low pressure will develop over the land. This means that the air above the ground is warmed & will rise.\n\nSince air pressure will equalize, air from over the sea will move inland to replace the air that was lifted. A convection current starts. This is a sea breeze. (winds are named for the direction they come from.)\n\nThe opposite occurs at night. The land cools faster than the water. Since the water is warmer at night, a low pressure cell forms over the sea.\n\nHigher pressure from over land moves toward the low pressure to equalize. This is called a land breeze b/c it comes from the land.

It's incredibly windy here in Skelmanthorpe in West Yorkshire....just had to rescue one of my bamboo plants which had been blown over...and it's in a big pot too!\n11:15 pm

Atmospheric bressure, the shorter the distance between the isobars indicates that a storm is brewing

This is a challenging question. There are weather ships that try to measure wind speed, but of course the presence of the ship itself can produce orographic effects and produce biases. Another estimate can be made from satellite and airplane observations of cloud movement. Another technique is to fly balloons (radiosondes) up into the air column and use anemometers on the balloons to measure wind speed, or track the balloons using radio methods and try to infer wind speed from that. Dropsondes can be dropped from airplanes as well to estimate windspeed. \n\nA technique that is used from satellites and airplanes is to measure the roughness of the sea surface by boucing microwaves off it (a "scatterometer"). The windier it is, the rougher the sea surface. \n\nThere are probably other techniques that are in use or have been tried or at least considered as well\n\nProbably there is room for improvement in all of these, if you are so inclined to think about it!
