Terrain-Induced Turbulence over Lantau Island: 7 June 1994 Tropical Storm Russ Case Study [PDF]
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 1997 Abstract Numerical simulations of terrain-induced turbulence associated with airflow over Lantau Island of Hong Kong are presented. Lantau is a relatively small island with three narrow peaks rising to between 700 and 950 m above mean sea level. This research was undertaken as part of a project to better understand and predict the nature of turbulence ...
