The wind data and wave data analyzed in this study are individually monitored by the wind gauge as well as the directional wave, tide and current gauge which were installed on an observing pile established in 1996 to monitor the oceanographic and climatic data of Taipei Harbor. The directional wave, tide and current gauge data are obtained from the underwater part of the pile, while the wind gauge is installed in the air.
In regard to wind, firstly, the statistics, joint probability distributions and rose diagrams of all valid wind speed and wind direction for NE and SW monsoon period from 1996 to 2001 are analyzed. Then, those of all valid wind speed and wind direction during typhoon period from 1996 to 2001 are analyzed again. The analysis results of the former are compared with those of the latter.
In regard to wave, firstly, the statistics and joint probability distributions of all wave height and period, the joint probability distribution as well as the rose diagrams of all wave height and wave direction for NE and SW monsoon period from 1996 to 2001 are analyzed. Then, those of all wave height, period and direction during typhoon period from 1996 to 2001 are analyzed again. The results of the former are compared with those of the latter.
The oceanographic and climatic characteristics of Taipei Harbor obtained in this study are useful for transportation safety policy.
