綠色和平 相信大家可能有讀過綠色和平為教研中心撰寫得博客文章《氣候危機將令香港沿海地區受到更嚴重的風暴潮威脅》,以下最新的文章由綠色和平專項地理信息系統GIS的研究員,為大家簡單解釋風暴潮影響地區互動地圖是怎麼製作的。   互動地圖讓你了解氣候變化下風暴潮對香港的威脅 全球暖化是不爭的事實,數十年後對我的生活有多大影響呢?隨著氣候危機惡化,本港的海平面將進一步上升。綠色和平評估,到本世紀中,山竹級的風暴潮最高水位恐成十年一遇,屆時香港受海水入侵範圍達28平方公里,相等於147個維園,影響近十萬人。那裡會是受威脅的地區?你住的地方又是否安全呢?   認清香港的氣候危機 氣候變化像是一個老生常談的危機,澳洲山火、冰川融化等都令人觸目驚心。但危機是否遠在天邊,與香港無關呢?冰川融化,導致海平面升高。香港作為沿岸城市,無可避免將受到衝擊。根據香港天文台資料[1],受氣候危機導致的海平面上升影響,到本世紀中維港十年一遇風暴潮最高水位將接近4米,與山竹時的紀錄相若[2]。而山竹襲港期間,維港的最高水位是5個潮汐站當中最低的,意味那些海拔不高於4米的地區可能更頻密地面對受到極端高的風暴潮威脅。

最近醫學界傳出新冠狀病毒 (COVID-19) 變種,由原來的D614變為G614,令大家都很擔心,究竟詳情是怎樣呢?擔心新冠狀病毒由原來的D614變為G614,其實是擔心它的傳染性、病情嚴重性和對研發疫苗有什麼影響。

On 4 August 2020, there was a big chemical explosion in Beirut causing at least 159 death, 6,000 injuries and 300,000 homeless as estimated on 10 August 2020. The explosion was caused by 2,750 tons of ammonium nitrate. The damage was equivalent to 3.3 magnitude of earthquake.   The estimated global production of ammonium nitrate is about 21.6 million tons in 2017. It is predominantly used in agriculture as a high nitrogen fertilizer. As ammonium nitrate is relatively very stable, it is mainly used as explosive mixtures in mining, quarrying, and civil construction. Similar formulations have been used in improvised explosive devices (IED) by terrorists.

香港賽馬會災難防護應變教研中心 綠色和平根據天文台的數據,為香港不同地區進行估算,找出香港那些地區會最受風暴潮影響,並且製作成地圖供市民參考。到底甚麼是風暴潮呢?   根據天文台的資料[1],風暴潮是與熱帶氣旋(即大家一般理解的颱風)相關的低氣壓及大風的共同影響而導致海平面上升的現象。 熱帶氣旋的強風將海水推向岸邊, 並於沿岸地區堆高是海平面上升的主要成因(圖一)。 圖 一   強風的影響 (來源:香港天文台) 而熱帶氣旋中心的低氣壓也會增加風暴潮的高度。由於在熱帶氣旋邊緣的氣壓較高,外圍的海水會被壓低,而熱帶氣旋中心附近的海水則會被吸起(圖二)。
