This study applies the fuzzy multi-objective approach to forecast short-term (around 24 h) typhoon rainfall, which can be implemented without much background meteorological knowledge. The physical characteristics of 40 typhoons, including route, central pressure, central velocity and cyclonic...

The study compared the performances of three weather generators (WGs), including a parametric model and two non-parametric models, in producing synthetic daily rainfall time series for multiple sites. The observed daily rainfalls of six raingauges during 1979~2008 in the catchment of Tseng-Wen...

This study proposed a stochastic approach to forecast water-shortage probabilities for the coming three months in central Taiwan. Monte Carlo method is used to repeat random sampling from the seasonal weather outlook. For each Monte Carlo trial, the monthly rainfalls and monthly mean...

This work studies long-term rainfall variations in Taiwan and provides local climate change analyses to global climate change. Around a century of rainfall data from 33 rain-gauges populate the database used herein. Statistical tests, such as cumulative deviations, Mann-Whitney-Pettitt...

In Taiwan, due to its relatively low development cost, groundwater has been the main source of water supply for most aquacultural industry in costal areas. The overdraft of groundwater has caused serious land-subsidence in many parts of Taiwan. In addition to providing enough surface water for...

Two distributed rainfall-runoff models were developed separately by using linear and nonlinear storage approaches for simulating the heterogeneity of hydrological processes over the catchment. A 1 × 1 km grid-based mesh was used to abstract the geometry of the catchment. The hydrological...
