| Summary | Published in March 2004 IOT SERIAL No. 93-36-784, 212pp. The sea exploration activities and coastal development projects in Taiwan become extensive. In order to protect human lives and properties, coastal engineering measures should be taken to prevent disasters such as coastal erosion and surges. Sufficient knowledge about marine meteorology is crucial. Therefore, to develop an integrated coastal ocean modeling system is urgently required. Tides and winds are predominant forces of the sea level variations. Sudden variations of these systems can cause storm surges and significant wave fields. Storm surges can cause flooding problems in the coastal area. Waves cause coastal erosion and morphological changes. Particularly, waves generated during typhoon periods can cause serious damages to the coastal structures. The IHMT has been putting a lot of efforts in building on-line marine meteorological observation networks for the five commercial ports in Taiwan. Conventionally, these data are analyzed and applied by coastal engineers using analytical methods that cannot cover a complete temporal and spatial coverage. Numerical tools are widely applied in the world for predicting and forecasting marine meteorology. Therefore, IHMT is planning “the Marine Meteorology Observation Network and the Coastal Ocean Modeling Systems” project for the seas surrounding Taiwan under the national framework “Coastal Disastrous Prevention and Warning Systems”. Most of the marine forecasting and modeling systems in Taiwan are running separate models for supplying information. In fact, tide-wave-surge interactions in the coastal area are complicated and integrated. To integrate the forecasting systems following a recent development in Europe (the PROMISE project), and to couple these three process models for the prediction of the marine meteorology surrounding Taiwan will be the major objectives of this project. |
