The Hong Kong Observatory further enhances its information service by providing the exposure information of the following wind stations for public reference:
(1) Kai Tak Wind Station;
(4) Sha Tin Wind Station;
(6) Wetland Park Wind Station;
(7) Chek Lap Kok Wind Station;
The above wind stations cover the whole of Hong Kong and are located near sea level. They serve as the reference wind stations of the Observatorys Tropical Cyclone Warning System. Hong Kong is a highly developed urban city with complex terrain. The Observatory launches the exposure information of the wind stations on its website for helping the public to learn more about the geographical characteristics of the wind stations, so that they can make sensible interpretations of the wind information at those sites.
