What mechanisms convection conduction or radiation is warm breeze blowing inland?

Answer 1

A warm breeze blowing inland is much more convection than conduction or heating by radiation , although there is some of all three processes in effect.

Convection refers to fluid dynamical movements including currents of molecules via advection (large-scale motion and mass transport) and/or diffusion (random molecular scale energy swapping between particles).

You could think of the diffusion aspect of convection as the primary modality of conduction, or direct heat transfer, such as cool water warming in a hot kettle. Usually solids (such as metals) are better heat conductors than less dense materials including atmospheric gases, which are usually considered insulators. The sun-baked sand "feels" much hotter than the air above it, for example.

As far as radiative heating goes, where sun shines through the atmosphere, only a small amount of light is absorbed by the air, directly heating it. Most of the light is absorbed by earth solids and liquids, or is reflected back through the atmosphere and away. The heating of the ground via radiation conducts heat into adjacent atmospheric gases, and in turn, those gases conduct their energy to other atmospheric gases. The aggregate heat transfer integrated over a very large number of such interactions is what culminates in the warm breeze we experience. This warm breeze (and the thermals that produce cumulus clouds) is convection, whereas the sun heating your body is due to heating by radiation, and the hot sand burning your feet is due to conductive heat transfer.
