Coastline Whole Taiwan RCP8.5 End of Century Coastal Wind Speed (m/s)

This figure depicts the maximum wind speed hazard along the coast of Taiwan in the RCP 8.5 scenario at the end of the century. The hazard levels are graded the same as the current hazard map. It can be observed that the coastal areas of the northeastern corner, Taoyuan City, Yilan County, the southern end of Hualien County, Kaohsiung City, and Pingtung County experience higher wind speed hazards, with almost all exceeding 32.6 meters per second.

Note: Using the RCP 8.5 warming scenario provided by TCCIP Team 1, future typhoon storm surge impact assessments are conducted under the same conditions as current typhoon paths, with an average increase of 8% in typhoon intensity under the same conditions as current typhoon paths.

About us

The Taiwan Climate Change Projection Information and Adaptation Knowledge Platform (TCCIP) coordinated by National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction (NCDR) is one of three major climate change projects funded by National Science and Technology Council. The TCCIP project not only produces climate change data for impact assessments and adaptations but also aims to support national adaptation policy framework.
