Observations of vertical velocity from a Doppler LiDAR in the urban area of Hong Kong

Abstract

Provides an evidence-based understanding of a significant risk to the future performance of human and natural systems Includes assessments, advice and recommendations of extreme weather and climate events Features case studies from around the globe to provide further context to the research An evidence-based view of the most important ways in which the build-up of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is affecting both our atmosphere and the oceans. Providing compelling reasons why concerted action is required to slow the rate at which the atmosphere and oceans are changing. This book not only covers longer-term changes in extremes and their causes, but also considers the drivers and attribution of extreme events, including relevant methods and techniques.

Observational study of Super Typhoon Saola in 2023 when it was close to Hong Kong

“…A Doppler LIDAR in range-height indicator (RHI) mode was installed at Siu Ho Wan to the southeast of HKIA in July 2023. Some preliminary observations of low level windshear from this LIDAR have been reported in Chan et al (2023b). This LIDAR also provided some interesting observations of the winds when HKIA was affected by Saola.…”
