Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics (LSGI) and the Research Institute for Land and Space (RILS) co-organized an academic workshop titled “2024 Atmospheric and Coastal Observations for Weather Servicing (2024 ACOWS)”. This workshop was led by Prof. George LIU of LSGI and held at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University on Saturday 3 February 2024. Twelve scientists from nine different universities or agencies, including The University of Hong Kong, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, City University of Hong Kong, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Sun Yat-Sen University, Shenzhen Institute of Meteorological Innovation, The University of Nottingham Ningbo (China), and Hong Kong observatory were invited to give presentations and exchange their research insights on weather/climate changes over the coastal areas.
Hong Kong, as a well-known coastal city, frequently suffers from various weather and climate disasters, such as typhoon. In the context of global warming, the extreme weather activities are expected to occur with an increasing frequency. This workshop has provided a valuable opportunity for the experts to share and discuss their knowledges with each other from a wide range of research aspects, and then to facilitate the multi-discipline collaboration in costal weather monitoring and forecasting.
