A two-dimensional land and sea breeze model has been used for the investigation of the circulation over Cheju Island. The model which has different diffusion coefficients for the heat and for the momentum transfer is subdivided into two layers: the surface layer and Ekman layer. A Z^* coordinate system and non-uniform mesh have been applied for the model simulation. From the model simulation, we were able to conclude that low-level wind was much stronger over Cheju city than over Seoguipo city during sea breeze, and vice versa during land breeze. The sea breeze circulation was distinctive over Seoguipo area, and weak land breeze circulation was seen over Cheju area. Meanwhile sea breeze and land breeze circulations over Cheju and Seoguipo area, respectively, were not found in the model simulation.
