Typhoon SCS

Yongxing Island is located south of the Tropic of Cancer and has a tropical monsoon climate. Due to being surrounded by the sea and having a small land area, it has the characteristics of a maritime climate. Located around 100m off the northeastern coast of Yongxing Island, the Yongxing air–sea flux tower (YXASFT) stands at the height of 20m and was specifically designed for observing air-sea boundary layer fluxes. A CR3000 data logger manufactured by Campbell Scientific Company, USA, is used for data sampling, preprocessing, storage, and transmission.
