Field trip to Xieyang Island

Field trip to Xieyang Island (斜阳岛）

On April 21st-23rd 2015, four of us (Guangcai, Jun, Gan and Shichun) went to investigate Xieyang Island as a potential site for monitoring airmass outflow from the Indo-China peninsula, which is part of the NSFC key project. The result is quite positive. Guangcai will continue setting up the station. It is a beatiful background site/island far way from human activity!

ga_2015_xieyang3There is a small village with tens of people living there.

ga_2015_xieyang10We had to hire a motor boat for approaching Xieyang Island. The adventure took 25~40 min from Weizhou Island, depending on the sea conditions. There is no excuse for not being wetted/sun-burned.
