  Title: Dynamics and Variability of Topography-induced Shear Instabilities in Western Boundary Currents Abstract: Shear instability is one of the most important turbulence generation mechanisms in the ocean, in which flow instabilities develop in stratified shear flows and domina... Read More

  Title: Supporting Water Resources Outlooks with Short-Term Climate Forecasting - Experiences and Challenges Abstract: Having an annual rainfall of 2,500 mm/yr in Taiwan, water resource management is still a challenging issue to our society due to significant spatial and temporal... Read More

  Title: Global sea level and waves in a warming climate Abstract:  I will explain how and why sea level and surface waves have changed due to a warming climate and altered wind pattern, pointing out particular vulnerable coastal regions around the globe.

  Title: Tropical cyclone rapid intensification Part II: Can warm eddies trigger rapid intensification? Abstract: Can a warm ocean eddy cause a passing tropical cyclone to rapidly intensify (maximum 10-m wind speed increases more than 15 m/s/24 hours)? Many studies have suggested an ... Read More

    Title: Tropical cyclone rapid intensification Part I: The roles of large-scale environments Abstract: Tropical cyclones that undergo rapid intensification (maximum 10-m wind speed increases more than 15 m/s/24 hours) often develop into major storms, and are of intere... Read More

  Title: The Interactive Behavior in a Coupled Solid and Fluid System Abstract:  Solid and fluid bodies are the main natural components in the world. Rock, soil, and fluid construct the hydrogeology and engineering geology fields. The interactive phenomena between coupled sol... Read More

Title: Runup of Laboratory-Generated Breaking Long Waves on Uniform Slopes Abstract:       In this study, we demonstrate that the normalized runup heights for breaking solitary and periodic waves can be characterized by a single dimensionless parameter, called the surf... Read More

  Title: Tropical Cyclone Climatology and Variability in Taiwan-Philippine Region  (入侵台灣與菲律賓區域的颱風的氣候特性與變化 ) Abstract: In the densely populated Taiwan-Philippine region (117°E-129°E, 5°N-26°N) over one hundred million people are exposed to tropical cyclone (TC) hazards for more... Read More

  Title: Manifold analysis of hydrological data (水文資料之流形分析) Abstract: Fundamental and commonly-used temporal and spatial analysis methods, such as principal component analysis, nearest neighbor analysis, kriging method, etc., are based on linear Euclidean coordinates. This research aim... Read More
