Techniques & Development
Mooring system and data analysis: I am expert in developing/deploying mooring system for long-term hydrographic parameters’ observations (technical reports:1, 2, 4, 5), data analysis and their interpretation in a view of physical oceanography. These efforts support RCEC colleagues and oceanographic community for their studies, including 1) biogeochemical variations in South China Sea (peer-reviewed papers: 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, and 14) and 2) phytoplankton bloom in the oligotrophic North Pacific Gyre (peer-reviewed papers: 10, and 15).
Flow pattern and hydrographic structure: I am also interested in study the flow pattern and vertical hydrographic structures of the upper ocean around Taiwan. The findings include: 1. the Kuroshio migrated both seasonal and intra-seasonally and the flow pattern north of Taiwan was impacted by the migration of Kuroshio (peer-reviewed paper: 1); 2. the intra-seasonal variation (5-day) of current velocity in Luzon Strait is caused by Kuroshio frontal instability, and ridge topography and stratification play an important role (peer-reviewed paper: 4); 3. the subtidal current on continental shelf and slope of northern South China Sea was affected by wind strength, fresh water inputs, typhoon, and eddies (peer-reviewed paper: 9); and 4. the hydrographic structure in the northern South China Sea (SEATS station) has three principal types and fixed temperature difference method of 0.5 and 0.8oC from the 10-m temperature may be a best estimator for determining mixed layer depth (peer-reviewed paper: 11).
