According to the website of the Central Meteorological Observatory, the center of this year's No. 11 typhoon "Capricorn" (super typhoon level) made landfall on the coast of Wenchang, Hainan at 16:20 on September 6. When it landed, the maximum wind force near the center was above level 17, and the maximum wind speed It reached 68m/s and the lowest central pressure was 915 hPa. It was the strongest typhoon to land in my country this year.
On the path of the typhoon, multiple WindMast 350-MB floating wind measurement lidar systems of Leitest Chuangxin were located on the path of the center of the typhoon and withstood the frontal impact of Typhoon "Capricorn". Under such extremely complex and harsh sea conditions, the data acquisition rate of each observation altitude of the floating wind lidar system reached 100%. The lidar, power supply, satellite communication, positioning and attitude determination, aviation insurance, hydrological monitoring and other modules were all in Stable working conditions, and obtained accurate, complete and valuable three-dimensional observation data of strong typhoons.
Typhoon "Capricorn" track and intensity information
Several WindMast 350-MB floating wind lidar systems deployed in the Beibu Gulf were located near the typhoon's center path and successfully withstood the frontal impact of the typhoon. The maximum wind speed was observed at 230m above sea level of 62.03m/s, and the 10-minute average wind speed was the highest. reached 51.93m/s. During the period affected by the typhoon, the power supply system of each buoy system was in good condition, and the system voltage was maintained within a safe range.
The nationally produced floating wind measurement lidar system independently developed by Leichuangxin has strong survivability and can ensure accurate measurement and stable operation under severe weather and sea conditions. In the future, Laser Testing will continue to work closely with relevant departments and institutions to promote the research, development, manufacturing, production and widespread application of marine equipment, and help further improve my country's marine energy development and marine meteorological disaster monitoring and forecasting levels.
