香港新机场预计1998年一条跑道可投入运行，届时每年最高可运送旅客3500万人次，货物运输约300万吨，每小时可起降40架次。机场完全投入运营时，它的运力还可增加一倍。为了适应如此之大机场空中交通服务的需要，作为航空气象服务的单位——香港天文台为此付出了巨大努力。笔者 At the new airport in Hong Kong, a runway is expected to be operational in 1998, with a maximum annual capacity of 35 million passengers and about 3 million tons of goods transported per year. It will take off and land 40 vehicles per hour. When the airport is fully operational, its capacity can be doubled. In order to meet the needs of such a large airport air traffic service, the Hong Kong Observatory, as a unit of aviation meteorological services, has made great efforts to this end. author
