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

Title:Changes in the Characteristics of Warm Season Rainfall Types in Taiwan: Past Observation and Future Projection Abstract: The warm season rainfall in Taiwan is composed of four types of rain events: tropical cyclone (TC), frontal convection (FC), diurnal convection (DC) and other southerl...

Title:Distribution and social-environmental analysis of methane in the South China Sea Abstract:   The South China Sea (SCS) is the largest marginal sea in the world. Historically, the seas have buffered the greenhouse effect by acting as a sink of atmospheric CO2. There is increasing ... Read More

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 ... Read More
