Abstract

The typhoon wind measurements taken during 2007-2009 in Hong Kong by wind-profilers and Doppler SODARs are unitized to calculate both the hourly mean and 10-min mean wind profiles. The mean wind profiles are then fitted to an empirical model taking into consideration the super-gradient feature, the log-law and the power-law. The results show that the super-gradient feature, which is commonly observed for typhoon winds over the sea, is not obvious in the mean wind profiles investigated. Wind tunnel tests are planned to perform afterwards as follow-ups to investigate the topography influencing the mean typhoon wind profiles observed.
