Abstract

This article introduces operational ocean monitoring technologies for the purpose of coastal flooding warning in Taiwan. The in-situ sea state data and field images are linked to the coastal monitoring network of Taiwan. This network provides real-time meteorological and oceanographic information, which is not only for the climate change study but also for the hazard mitigation purposes as well. The whole network has been operated for more than 10 years in Taiwan. It plays an important role on the decision making for the mitigation of coastal flooding.
