Super Typhoon “Doksuri” was Successfully Captured by Leice’s Ground-based LiDARs and Marine Floating LiDAR Systems

According to the monitoring of the Central Meteorological Observatory, Super Typhoon “Doksuri” made landfall along the coast of Jinjiang, Fujian Province at 9:55 am on July 28. The maximum wind force near the center was level-15 (50m/s), making it the strongest typhoon to make landfall in China this year. It’s the second strongest typhoon to make landfall in Fujian by complete observation records. During the typhoon`s transit period, entrusted by the superior department, Leice team quickly allocated nearly 20 sets of land-based and offshore floating wind lidars in the waters of Fujian and near the landing points, achieving land and marine joint-observation for the first time. It successfully tracked and observed Typhoon "Doksuri", and obtained accurate, complete, and valuable three-dimensional observation data of the strong typhoon. Leice team overcame many difficulties such as time constraints, implementation difficulties, and equipment transportation difficulties, and completed the "almost impossible" task, receiving unanimous recognition and praise from customers.
