Climatic Factors Suppressing Tropical Cyclone Activity around Taiwan during October
During Octobers of 1970–2019, no tropical cyclones (TCs) affected Taiwan in 32 out of 50 years (64%). Suppressed TC activity in these years results from different modulating processes imposed by various climat...

Multiple Modulating Processes for Intensive Tropical Cyclone Activity Affecting Taiwan in September 2016
September 2016 harbored record-breaking three tropical cyclones (TCs) affecting Taiwan within a month. Multiple modulating processes governing these three TC events and associated rainfall and intensification ...

Open AccessDirect measurements reveal instabilities and turbulence within large amplitude internal solitary waves beneath the ocean
Internal solitary waves are ubiquitous in coastal regions and marginal seas of the world’s oceans. As the waves shoal shoreward, they lose the energy obtained from ocean tides through globally significant turb...

Derivation of internal solitary wave amplitude in the South China Sea deep basin from satellite images
In the present study, theories based on the Korteweg–de Vries equation are extended to the Benjamin–Ono equation to allow the determination of internal solitary wave (ISW) amplitude from satellite images. The ...

Typhoon-induced strong surface flows in the Taiwan strait and pacific
Surface Velocity Program drifters drogued at 15 m depth were deployed in the Taiwan Strait (TS) and Luzon Strait in 2005 and 2006. Several drifters in the TS and the Pacific were fortuitously overrun by the ty...

Methods of measuring wind stress over a water surface — Discussions of displacement height and von Karman constant
Experiments were conducted in a wind-wave tank to study the long-standing discrepancy between wind stresses over a water surface determined with the profile and eddy-correlation methods. Inasmuch as the eddy-c...
