    Title: Gust forecasts during typhoons   Abstract: Numerical weather prediction (NWP) models are commonly used to predict mean wind speeds. However, methods for predicting gust wind speeds in NWP models are still lacking due to limitations of computer resources.... Read More

  Title: Climate smart adaptation for a resilient community - storm water management using Low Impact Development (LID) measures Abstract: This study develops and applies the methodologies to help decrease the impact caused by extreme precipitation under climate change at a com... Read More

  Title: Study on combined WRF model with deep learning for wind speed simulation during typhoons Abstract: A scheme for wind-speed forecasting during typhoons in Taiwan is highly desirable, considering the effects of the powerful winds accompanying the severe typhoons. The develope... Read More

  Title:  CODAR data analysis and model simulation Abstract: New methodology is developed in this study to overcome the weakness of the existing CODAR packaged software in missing-data gaps and to extract the surface current velocity from HF radial measurements. A three-site netwo... Read More

  Title: The far-reaching impact on climate of deforestation in Indonesia Abstract: In the Malay Archipelago (Indonesia and Malaysia), forest is being lost in the past several decades to cash-crop plantation (oil palm, rubber and acacia, including fallow lands) and urban expansion. De... Read More

  Title: Revised earthquake sources for tsunami hazard assessment in South China Sea: A sleeping giant under the Manila trench Abstract: Seismogenic tsunami hazard assessment highly depends on the reliability of earthquake source models. Here in Manila subduction zone, we c... Read More

  Title: GRACE observation of global mass change Abstract: This presentation will show the principle of GRACE gravimetry and some case studies. The GRACE satellite mission uses two satellites (A and B) to detect changes in their line-of-sight velocities, which are then inverted to compute... Read More

Title: Forest and the atmosphere: from flux measurement to the forest dynamics modeling Abstract I have been focusing on the micrometeorological phenomena within and above the forest canopy, to clarify the mechanism of interaction between forest and the atmosphere, and to evaluate the energy, ...

Title: Kuroshio-typhoon interaction surrounding Taiwan Abstract: The western North Pacific Ocean (WNP) is the most active tropical cyclone (TC) basin in the global oceans. Meanwhile, the Kuroshio is a strong western boundary current of the WNP passing through the east of Taiwan all year round.... Read More

Title: Quick Forecast of Tsunamis and Storm Surges Abstract: Usually earthquake scenarios are assumed to provide source conditions for tsunami hazard mitigation. Scenario analysis provides what might happen under some conditions, but we do not know if one scenario is more or less likely than t... Read More
