Backward Trajectory Map in April 2011
|
By using computer model analyses, the past 72-hour backward trajectory of the air mass reaching Hong Kong is estimated by the Observatory on a daily basis. The daily trajectories are compiled into the Monthly Backward Trajectory Map. The Monthly Map for April 2011 is now available on the following webpage:
As indicated in the figure below, the air masses reaching Hong Kong in April 2011 mainly originated from northeast of Hong Kong as the territory was under the influence of the northeast monsoon most of the time. With Hong Kong transitting to spring, some air masses of maritime origin also affected Hong Kong. |
