Summary	Successful Naval operations in the littoral depend upon accurate assessments of environmental conditions and how they will evolve. The coastal regions are typically characterized by small-scale meteorological features, which can evolve quickly and impact numerous types of operations. Forecasting these conditions requires a thorough understanding of these phenomena. To make this information more widely accessible, a textbook covering the dynamics and forecasting coastal weather will be written. From broad applicability by Navy forecasters, examples of these weather events need to come from around the world. Observations, imagery, and high-resolution global model simulations are used to compare similar coastal weather events in Asia and North America to further our understanding of their dynamics and processes for inclusion in the textbook.
