The dominant atmospheric circulations and the resulting weather systems for
Mainland China and Taiwan are the same ones all over the year, with only
difference of upstream/downstream sectionin summer, Taiwan is situated over
an upstream location of subtropical-high and typhoons, which are originated from
the ocean (in south); while in wintertime, cold surges and frontal systems moving
from the continent (north) bring us as a downstream area in contrast to the
Mainland over the weather system. And in case a massive earthquake nearby,
people of both sides can be influenced immediately and experience threat from
the shaking.
On the basis of the Cross-Strait meteorological and seismic monitoring
cooperative agreements, weather information and real-time seismic data will be
more accurately and more promptly transmitted between the two sides upon
occurrence of hazardous weather systems and extensive earthquake events to
facilitate the timeliness and accuracy in operational requirement of both sides.
In addition, periodic exchanges and distributions of seismic monitoring-related
popular science materials will be conducted to promote disaster mitigation
outreach efforts in both sides.
