颱風是自然界最具破壞力的天氣系統，同時也是地球物理流體力學在自然界所展現的絕妙特例：颱風系統包括高速旋轉渦旋、位流、層化流體、強烈溼對、大氣與海洋及地形之交互作用等，涉及多重時間尺度與空間尺度，一直是國際大氣科學界深感興趣的研究議題。台灣位處西北太平洋地區颱風路徑之要衝，雖常年受颱風侵襲，但也提供了觀測和研究颱風的絕佳條件；而颱風所伴隨的雨量同時也是珍貴的水資源，加上台灣獨特的地理形勢，因而形成更豐富的跨領域研究基礎。颱風動力研究室 (TDRC) 於1997年由吳俊傑教授創立，致力於颱風動力的探討。TDRC結合理論、數值模擬以及觀測，旨在揭開颱風的科學面紗。特別著重以下幾項主題：

  1. 颱風路徑
  2. 標靶觀測及資料同化
  3. 颱風生成／強度／結構
  4. 颱風地形交互作用
  5. 颱風降雨
  6. 颱風海洋交互作用
  7. 颱風與氣候變遷
  8. 颱風與機器學習／人工智慧

二十多年來，颱風動力研究室積極提升研究量能並與世界頂尖學者及團隊合作，持續進行前緣研究。歡迎有志於此的新夥伴加入，共同拓展並開創更多重要研究課題，貢獻於前瞻科學突破，並讓台灣的颱風研究在國際舞台上發光發熱。

Typhoons are among the most destructive weather systems in nature, and an intricate case of geophysical fluid dynamics: the system of typhoons encompasses highly-rotating vortices, potential flow, stratified fluid, strong, moist convection, and atmosphere-ocean-terrain interactions. These involve physical processes across multiple spatial/temporal scales and have been an important and challenging research topic for the international atmospheric science community. Located in the Northwestern Pacific, Taiwan is in the way of multiple typhoons yearly, which brings the island damages and in the meantime provides a perfect foothold for typhoon observation. Furthermore, the typhoon-induced rainfall is an important water source for Taiwan, and coupled with the island’s unique topography and other factors, lays a strong foundation for interdisciplinary research. The Typhoon Dynamics Research Center (TDRC) was established in 1997 by Prof. Chun-Chieh Wu and has since been addressing various aspects of typhoon-dynamics problems. By incorporating theories, numerical simulations, and observations, TDRC aims to unveil the science of typhoons, particularly in the following areas:

  1. Typhoon Motion
  2. Target Observation and Data Assimilation
  3. Typhoon Genesis / Intensity / Structure
  4. Typhoon - Terrain Interaction
  5. Typhoon Rainfall
  6. Typhoon-Ocean Interactions
  7. Typhoon and Climate Change
  8. Typhoon and Machine Learning/AI

For the past 20+ years, TDRC has been rigorously enhancing research capacity and extending collaborations on all fronts, including the DOTSTAR project with the Central Weather Administration of Taiwan and meteorological organizations in Japan and the U.S. TDRC warmly welcomes you to join our efforts to expand and deepen typhoon research, contributing to cutting-edge science and disaster mitigation, and sustaining Taiwan’s presence in the global research community.
