Project Summary
With averaged more than 20 typhoons (tropical cyclones. TC) affect Taiwan and Philippines each year, typhoons produce the most damage loss both in Taiwan and in Philippines among all weather systems. Meteorological agencies and academic communities in Taiwan-Philippine has performed a international collaborative research project, MOST-DOST VOTE collaborative grand research project on “Improvement of forecast capability on weather, marine meteorology and short-range climate” since 2016, and some of the accomplishments has been reported in a special issue, Taiwan-Philippine VOTE-Meteorology project: Typhoon study and related natural hazard, of the journal of Terrestrial, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences. The subjects cover the components of analysis and modeling systems for TC prediction operation in the two meteorological agencies including 1) Development of application products of typhoon monitoring by using radar observations、2) Improvement of data assimilation and numerical prediction system、3) Enhancement of the objective forecast guidance and operational support systems for tropical cyclones、4) Improvement of wave prediction system、5) Radar data application and high-resolution Quantitative Precipitation Forecast (QPF) for complex terrain、6) Sub-seasonal to Seasonal (S2S) prediction of tropical cyclone rainfall (TCR) and rainfall extremes and 7) Sub-seasonal to Seasonal (S2S) prediction of tropical cyclones. The major purpose is to improve forecast capability on severe climate systems in which Taiwan and the Philippines suffer frequently via enhancement of data analysis and numerical method improvement.
