About Us :
The Central Weather Bureau (CWB) was established in 1941 in Chongqing as a unit within the Executive Yuan. It had been under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) in 1947.
After moving to Taiwan with the Government of the Republic of China, the CWB infrastructure was simplified in 1957. The Taiwan Provincial Weather Institution assumed responsibility for most of its functions. In 1971, the CWB was restructured and became affiliated with the MOTC again.
FAQs :
1. Is there a correlation between a fault and an earthquake?
Surface ruptures are often seen after the occurrence of a huge earthquake. Whether it is the fault that initiates the earthquake or the earthquake that creates the fault is still an open question. However, faults are often found in the places where a huge earthquake releases energy.
2. What do the terms “hypocenter” and “epicenter” refer to?
(1) Hypocenter : A hypocenter is the point within the Earth where an earthquake rupture starts.
(2) Epicenter : An epicenter is the point at the surface that lies directly above a hypocenter in the Earth.
3. What is “magnitude”?
The magnitude of an earthquake is a measured value of the earthquake size. Depending on the energy released, it is a real number with no unit.
4. Will typhoon invasion cease attendance at school or work, where could I get the information?
Currently, the decision on whether to cease classes or work in the nation during typhoon invasion rests with the authorities of municipalities and county/city governments, and the voice inquiry line is 020300166 (Mandarin only).
The decision-making will be in accordance with the relevant regulation enacted by the Executive Yuan, which sets a threshold for reference that when an area is to be covered by a typhoon’s radius within 4 hours and have sustained wind speed of Beaufort scale 7 or greater or gusts with Beaufort scale 10 or greater predicted by the CWB.
5. When will the CWB issue a land warning for typhoon?
A land warning will be issued if the typhoon’s radius of sustained winds of 34 knots or greater is going to hit the land of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu in 18 hours. The land warning will also be reissued every 3 hours while the typhoon center is located every hour.
The 18-hour lead time is set to allow all the safety actions to get ready. During typhoon strikes, the public should refer directly to the latest typhoon information issued by the CWB and not believe or spread rumors.
