Summary     This project belongs to a sub-item project “Innovative Application Research on Harbor Environment Disaster Prevention” under the 2023 Outline Science Technology program “Disaster Prevention Technology Research of Land Transportation and Harbor Facilities” of the Transportation Technology Research Center.
    In addition to maintaining normal operation of the sea meteorology simulation system, the main topics this year focuses on collecting and analysis of basic data of Kaohsiung seas, establishment of wind module and hydrodynamic module, and improvements of other related sea meteorology simulation.
    Research results this year include: finishing wind field processing system and verifying operational procedure for wind wave simulation system of Taiwan seas, and verifying simulation results of wind wave and hydrodynamic modules for Penghu sea area; verifying simulation results of wind waves (including typhoon waves) and water levels (including storm surges) of sea areas surrounding Taiwan; comparisons of simulation and observatory results of main harbors in 9 sea areas and providing monthly reports to Transportation Technology Research Center for reference; providing statistics and analysis of sea meteorology including tides, currents, and waves for Kaohsiung sea area 2022; establishment of wind wave and hydrodynamic modules and calibrations of related simulation parameters.
    Research results and numerical simulation experiences in this project can be applied to other outlying islands to improving the "sea meteorology simulation and forecast system" for sea areas surrounding Taiwan. During normal times, the present results can provide relevant sea meteorology simulation information for port areas and coastal highways. During typhoon periods, the present results can also provide as evaluation basis for disaster prevention and early warning and can assist ship navigation and car driving safety on coastal highways.
