Abstract
Super Typhoon Saola came very close to Hong Kong on 1/2 September 2023, necessitating the issuance of the No. 10 hurricane signal, the highest tropical cyclone warning signal in Hong Kong. While there was widespread damage in Hong Kong, no people were killed in the event with effective early warning. It is rare that a super typhoon comes very close to Hong Kong, and this paper is a part in the series of the documentation of Saola to summarize the interesting observations of Saola near Hong Kong for future reference by weather forecasters.
期刊介绍:
The aim of Weather is to act as a bridge between the interests of those having a professional and a general interest in the weather, as well as between meteorologists and others working in related sciences such as climatology, hydrology and geography.
Articles and regular features are written for a wide range of readers, from professional meteorologists to amateur weather observers. While technical language and mathematical content are kept to a minimum, Weather also seeks to inform and to give readers an opportunity to update their subject knowledge.
Weather is also the ''house journal'' of the Society and seeks to keep the reader up-to-date with Society news and includes meeting and conference reports, a Readers'' Forum series and occasional Viewpoint articles. Photographs of weather events are an important feature of the journal and the Weather Image feature provides an opportunity to analyse a satellite image or photograph. Weather Log is a summary of the weather of each month by means of meteorological data and weather maps.
