Dr. Kee-ying Fung, Scientific Advisor of the Observatory and former Professor of Department of Mechanical Engineering, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, visited the Observatory on 29 May 2009 and exchanged views with colleagues on aviation meteorology.  Dr. Fung is an expert in aerodynamics and computational fluid mechanics, and had served on the Hong Kong Aviation Advisory Board for many years.  He was invited to be one of the Scientific Advisors of the Observatory (http://www.hko.gov.hk/abouthko/advisor/scientific_advisor.htm) in 2008. 

Dr. Fung had a fruitful discussion with colleagues on the latest developments of windshear and turbulence alerting, particularly sharing his expertise on the low-level wind effects of airport buildings being studied by the Observatory.  This is the first time Dr. Fung visited the Observatory and he was particularly interested in the sophisticated weather monitoring network in Hong Kong and the provision of weather services for the public and other users.
