1 Aviation Reports, Forecasts and Warnings I
2 SPECI criteria Element Crosswind Supplementary information Special report in the SPECI code form crosswind based on the 10-minute mean wind changes from less than 20 knots to 20 knots or more and vice versa (operational limits of aircrafts following Annex 3) Vicinity: approach and climb out area taken to be 13 km
3 Speci Alert

5 Artificial gusts due to aircraft operations Jet engine blasts More than just hot air It can cause damage and upsets during ground operations if encountered at close range Almost every commercial jet operating manual has a diagram showing the aircraft's jet blast "damage profile" as measured from the tail.
6 Effect of jet blast on surface wind observations
7 Artificial gusts due to aircraft operations (cont) Wake vortices All aircrafts produce wake vortices when in flight The strongest vortices are produced by heavy aircraft, flying slowly, in a clean configuration During takeoff and landing, the vortices sink toward the ground and move laterally away from the runway when the wind is calm. A 3 to 5 knot crosswind will tend to keep the upwind vortex in the runway area and may cause the downwind vortex to drift toward another runway
8 Effect of wake vortex on surface wind observations 1
9 Effect of wake vortex on surface wind observations 2
10 How to discriminate artificial gusts from natural gusts?
11 A method Frequency distribution of normalized wind speed u n = (u( max U) /σ / u on a day with no aircraft operations confirms to a normal distribution This holds for all types of weather, including thunderstorms Tests indicated that gusts are likely to be artificial with u n > 5
12 Comparing u and u n
13 Program developed by HKO Extract and prepare 3-second 3 and 10-minute mean wind speeds from AMOS. Calculate normalized 3- second mean wind speed If within the 10-minute observation reporting period: a point with normalized 3-second mean wind speed greater than 5, the corresponding difference between the 3-second 3 and 10- minute mean winds is greater than 5 m/s, the corresponding 10-minute mean wind speed is greater than 5.0 m/s and the standard deviation is greater than 0.5 The point will be marked suspicious and will be shown

43 Types of sea breezes at CLK: Type I local sea breeze circulation resulting from winds converging from all directions of the HKIA when the CLK island is heated up. This results in opposite wind directions at the two ends of the runway; Type II winds converging to Lantau Island resulting in north to northwesterly winds on the runways; and Type III larger scale circulation with west to southwesterly winds flowing from CLK to the New Territories.
44 Three types of sea breezes at CLK:
45 Estimating seabreeze onset time at CLK The equation is a extension of the simple circulation model described in the book of Holton. Many of the parameters in the equation have pre-assigned values, except the following which is read in real-time: v0 is the background wind at 05:30am, represented by the average of the u-component u at stations at WGL, TMT, NLS, TMS and R2C T0 is the initial land-sea tempearture difference(at 0530am), which uses air temperature at HKA and sea temperature reading from North Point at 2:00pm the day d before P0 is the pressure at the circulation base, using pressure at HKA P1 is the pressure at the circulation top, using pressure at NLS
46 Limitation of equation: only applies to seabreeze days at CLK, its estimation is irrelevant when seabreeze is not occuring. may not have a solution when background easterly wind is too strong for seabreeze to reach the shore, when temperature on land is too low(like after a strong cold surge), when the initial prevailing wind is already westerlies
47 Example of sea breeze onset time calculation: Seabreeze onset time estimated for (YYYYMMDD). Background wind is already westerly, seabreeze onset time can't be determined The calculation of seabreeze onset time is based on the following raw input at 05:30 HKT: Wind Stn: WGL, Direction: 190 degree, Force: 3.4 m/s Stn: R2C, Direction: 263 degree, Force: 2.0 m/s Stn: TMS, Direction: 220 degree, Force: 7.3 m/s Stn: TMT, Direction: 133 degree, Force: 3.3 m/s Stn: NLS, Direction: 264 degree, Force: 6.6 m/s Pressure Stn: HKA hpa Stn: NLS 3277 hpa Temperature HK Airport: 28.9 degrees Sea temperature at North Point: 28.0 degrees (Note: reading taken n at 14:00H yesterday)
48 Sea breeze index Bernoulli s s equation ρ 1 U 2 ρ 2 U 2 P = P gh ( 2gh + U 2 ) = T overland T overwater T overland - T overwater U 2 = 2gh( ) SBI = ±(U 2 /ΔT) T overwater
49 Expected parameters Land-sea temperature difference Wind strength Cloudiness Stability
50 Scatter plot of U 2 with Land-sea temperature difference
51 Method Cloudiness 6 >= 6 oktas and meanrh ( hpa) ) >=80% No sea breeze SBI > 7 or SBI < 0 where SBI = U 2 6 (CLK Max Temp SST 6 )

57 Basic Principles HKO s s Shipping Warning track Isopleths of probability of occurrence of strong/gale force winds (a.k.a. kidneys )) in CLK Uncertainties derived from spread of model forecast TC positions with respect to model ensemble forecast or position errors collected from past statistics
58 Basic Principles Probabilities can be calculated based on: Statistical scheme - Forecast position errors of shipping warning tracks during taken as the uncertainties in forecast positions. Model Spread scheme - spread of individual model forecast position from model ensemble taken as the uncertainties in forecast positions.
