Will Sanya Typhoon flights be grounded?

Sanya Typhoon aircraft will be grounded.

Sanya is a famous tourist city on the coast of the South China Sea, attracting many tourists for vacation and sightseeing. However, due to its geographical location close to the South China Sea, typhoons occur frequently in the area. When a typhoon approaches, planes will be grounded at Sanya Airport to ensure the safety of passengers and crew.

First of all, the strong winds and heavy rain brought by typhoons will affect the flight safety of aircraft. Strong winds may cause the aircraft to lose stability during takeoff or landing, and it may also encounter airflow disturbances during flight. Heavy rain will reduce the visibility of the aircraft, increase the difficulty of pilot judgment and operation, and may lead to accidents. To prevent aircraft from flying in such extreme weather conditions, airlines will choose to ground their flights.

Secondly, the typhoon defense facilities at Sanya Airport are limited and cannot completely prevent the impact of typhoons on the airport and aircraft. Even if the airport has some wind protection measures, such as building wind walls and dismantling vulnerable facilities, the violent force of the typhoon may still cause damage to aircraft and airport facilities. In order to protect the safety of property and personnel, the airport will decide to suspend flights.

The reasons for the formation of typhoons in Sanya:

1. Warm oceans

Sanya is located in a tropical marine climate area, and the sea surface temperature is relatively high in summer, which can usually reach the level of typhoons. The resulting temperature requirements provide sufficient heat and water vapor for typhoons.

2. Water vapor supply

The sea area around Sanya has a large amount of water vapor evaporation, forming rich water vapor resources, which provides sufficient water vapor supply for typhoons and promotes the sustainable development of typhoons. .

3. Pressure area

There is a low pressure area in the sea or land near Sanya. Low pressure can cause the air to rise to form convection and rotation, providing conditions for the formation of typhoons. .

4. Initial disturbance

Initial disturbance can be tropical waves, convective clouds, etc., which can trigger the upward movement of air, thus forming a typhoon.

5. Coriolis force

The Coriolis force is a force caused by the rotation of the earth. It deflects the air to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere. Sanya is located in the northern hemisphere, and the Coriolis force will cause the initial disturbance to gradually rotate and develop into a typhoon.
