The video tutorial by Mike Thompson from Epic Flight Academy explains the concept of Sea Breeze and Land Breeze. It covers the importance of understanding wind direction, pressure, mass, volume, and density in air columns. The tutorial illustrates how temperature changes between land and sea create local wind patterns, including the Sea Breeze during the day and the Land Breeze at night. The video concludes with a review of wind direction terminology.
