Study on Hydrodynamic Characteristics and Environmental Response in Shantou Offshore Area
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article Study on Hydrodynamic Characteristics and Environmental Response in Shantou Offshore Area Yuezhao Tang 1,2 , Yang Wang 1,*, Enjin Zhao 2,* , Jiaji Yi 1, Kecong Feng 1, Hongbin Wang 1 and Wanhu Wang 1 1 Haikou Marine Geological Survey Center, China Geological Survey, Haikou 570100, China; [email protected] (Y.T.); [email protected] (J.Y.); [email protected] (K.F.); [email protected] (H.W.); [email protected] (W.W.) 2 Marine Geological Resources Laboratory, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China * Correspondence: [email protected] (Y.W.); [email protected] (E.Z.) Abstract: As a coastal trading city in China, Shantou has complex terrain and changeable sea conditions in its coastal waters. In order to better protect the coastal engineering and social property along the coast, based on the numerical simulation method, this paper constructed a detailed hydrodynamic model of the Shantou sea area, and the measured tide elevation and tidal current were used to verify the accuracy of the model. Based on the simulation results, the tide elevation and current in the study area were analyzed, including the flood and ebb tides of astronomical spring tide, the flood and ebb tides of astronomical neap tide, the high tide, and the low tide. In order to find the main tidal constituent types in this sea, the influence of different tidal constituents on tide elevation and tidal current in the study area was analyzed. At the same time, the storm surge model of the study area was constructed, and the flow field under Typhoon “Mangkhut” in the study area was simulated by using the real recorded data. -
The 2018 GLOBEX JULMESTER® PROGRAM Classes: July 2-20, 2018
The 2018 GLOBEX JULMESTER® PROGRAM Classes: July 2-20, 2018 http://globex.coe.pku.edu.cn/ The Globex Julmester at Peking University in Beijing, China is a professional mobility program with a worldwide exchange of students from all disciplines of study. To enhance students' global and professional experience, Globex offers courses that focus on the two core elements of our program: engineering & science and China-focused study. Engineering and science generate new knowledge and skills for society to advance and prosper (10 engineering/science courses). Societies everywhere are being profoundly impacted by China, as it grows to become the world’s largest economy. Globex offers students an opportunity to study China and its peoples (2 China focused courses). Although students are allowed to select 2 courses (one in the morning and the other in the afternoon), we recommend Globex students to enroll in only 1 course as the program is highly intensive.

At that time, the horizontal wind and with an upgraded meteorological measuring system. pressure measurements from AIMMS20 were Besides search and rescue (SAR) missions, this checked to be normal. This SAR operation provided aircraft is also used for windshear and turbulence valuable observations about the typhoon that could investigation flights at the Hong Kong International not be achieved with the conventional meteorological Airport. In a SAR operation in July 2009, the aircraft measurements (including both in situ and remote flew close to the eye of Typhoon Molave, when it was sensing measurements) available in the region. In located at about 200 km to the east of Hong Kong particular, the 20-Hz wind data could be used to over the south China coastal waters.

Astronomy Education in China, Hong Kong Or on This Document Please Contact the Office of Astronomy for Education ([email protected])
Astronomy Education in China, Hong Kong This overview is part of the project "Astronomy Education Worldwide" of the International Astronomical Union's Office of Astronomy for Education. More information: https://astro4edu.org/worldwide Structure of education: Usually, children start their learning in kindergartens from 3 to 6 years old. It is followed by 6-year formal education in mainstream primary education (taught in Chinese, English and Mandarin). Secondary school is compulsory for 6 years, studying all subjects for the first 3 years and registering their interested subjects (from Liberal Arts, Science and Business) as electives for the remaining 3 years. There would be Territory-wide System Assessments for P.3, P.6 and F.3 students every year for evaluating the overall learning standard of students. All twelve years of education at public schools are free of charge if studying at government and aided schools. In the final year of secondary studies, Form 6 Students need to prepare for the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) Examination to fulfill requirements for higher-level studies. As for Post-secondary Education, there are multiple study pathways, such as 4-year bachelor’s degree programs and 2-year sub-degree programs. For non-Chinese speaking students and foreign nationals, there are also some international schools and private schools in primary and secondary education. They will continue their further studies to overseas universities or high-level educational colleges after another public examination, such as GCE A-Level and IB Diploma (different curriculum comparing to the mainstream education). Education facilities: Hong Kong schools have typical class sizes of around 25 to 30 students, students usually would have the same timetables from primary to secondary (P.1-P.6 and F.1-F.3). -
