碩士 / 國立高雄海洋科技大學 / 海事資訊科技研究所 / 103 / To enhance the immediacy and accuracy of rescue missions and analyses for smuggling investigations conducted by the Coast Guard Administration, this study examines the characteristics of ocean current observations surrounding Taiwan and the associated influences from typhoons. The current data from the "Taiwan Ocean Radar Observing System" (TOROS) of Taiwan Marine Science and Technology Center are employed to study how monsoons and typhoons modulating the currents around Taiwan. The research results can serve as reference information for the Coast Guard Investigative Department in the operations of smuggling investigations and marine rescue missions.
Analysis results showed that northward mainstreams of Kuroshio off the east coasts of Taiwan exhibit noticeable seasonal variability. During the southwest monsoon season, the ocean currents tend to expand offshore due to the intensification effects by the same direction of southwest monsoon flows and currents. On the other hands, the mainstreams are restricted to be near-shore during the northeast monsoon season under the constrain effects from the opposite direction of winds and currents. The above features are coherent with the observed results from the previous research works.
The analyses also demonstrated that the ocean current data can be properly used in the rescue missions for fishing boat turnover cases. By tracking the flow patterns during different dates from the TOROS real-time observations, the Coast Guard Rescue Department can ensure the accuracy and immediacy of the sea rescue, plus the successful implementation for criminal investigation.
