Title: A comprehensive sediment dynamics study of a major mud belt system on the inner shelf along an energetic coast Abstract: Globally mud areas on continental shelves are conduits for the dispersal of fluvial-sourced sediment. We address fundamental issues in sediment dynamics focusing on h... Read More

  Title: Water Budget and Precipitation Efficiency of Typhoon Morakot (2009) Abstract: In this study, the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (Version 3.2) with the finest grid size of 1 km is used to explicitly simulate Typhoon Morakot (2009) that dumped rainfall of more than 260... Read More

  Title: Understanding Rainfall and Circulation Changes under Global Warming: The Role of Ocean Abstract: As the climate warms, most of the global climate models project more wettening in the climatological wet region and more drying in the climatological dry region. The so-called “wet... Read More

  Title: Sudden Intensification of Typhoon Hato (2017) before Landfalling on Macau Abstract: Typhoon Hato (2017) experienced a sudden intensification to a category-3 intense typhoon just before making landfall on Macau on 23 August 2017. The unexpected strong wind of 51.4 m s-1 sever... Read More

  Title: The roles of oceanic mesoscale variability in changing the upper ocean and the lower atmosphere around Taiwan Abstract The research focused on finding the roles of oceanic mesoscale variability in changing the oceanic and atmospheric environments in/over some sea areas around ...

Title:  Mid-depth Atlantic Water Circulation across the last deglaciation Abstract: The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), the system of warm-to-cold water transformation that results in North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) production, redistributes heat, nutrients, salt a...

  Title: Simulating the storm damage to forests in Earth System Models Abstract: Earth System Models are currently the most advanced tools to study the interactions between humans, their use of natural resources and the climate. Although storms are much more damaging than fire to Eur... Read More

  Title: The Impact of ENSO to the South China Sea during ENSO decaying winter-spring using a regional coupled model Abstract: Previous studies have suggested the ocean dynamics in the South China Sea (SCS) plays an important role on the local air-sea process and regional weather/clima...
