SDG 13.3.3

1. Placement of Marine Weather Data Buoys協助中央氣象局完成海氣象資料浮標佈放

The world faces significant issues with climate change, and extreme weather poses serious threats to human life, property, and well-being. If the Central Weather Bureau can accurately and effectively collect meteorological data, it can provide more precise weather forecasts to help people avoid disaster-prone conditions, ensuring the smooth conduct of activities such as maritime recreation, fishing operations, navigation, ecological protection, construction projects, and resource surveys.

Oceanographic data buoys are widely used internationally to collect marine environmental data, with about 500 anchored buoys worldwide. Due to their placement in marine environments, they face increased wear and tear from wave action and equipment aging. If the anchors or ropes break, the buoys can drift and fail to perform their observation tasks. Therefore, annually redeploying or replacing equipment is a crucial task.

The Central Weather Bureau commissioned National Taiwan Ocean University to update and maintain the 2023 buoy system and anchoring equipment. On June 23, 2024, the Research Vessel Hsin Hai Yen No. 2 from the university arrived at the designated location at Pengjia Islet. After assessing the local depth and topography, buoy deployment began. The vessel then met with the divers' boat at the old anchor point, where divers disassembled the old buoy's underwater anchoring. The old buoy was then lifted to the aft deck for recovery. After verifying the new buoy's accuracy on-site, the mission was completed, and the vessel returned.

Marine meteorological buoys accurately record data on air pressure, water temperature, air temperature, wave height, wave period, wave direction, wind direction, and wind speed. Each data point is transmitted within minutes, providing real-time updates to meteorologists and disaster response units. This helps reduce personnel and property losses from disasters and ensures smoother operations and economic activities at sea.

Data buoys transmit a large volume of marine meteorological information, which is crucial for weather forecasting and maritime safety assessments. After the Central Weather Bureau collects and consolidates this data, it is sent in real-time to relevant agencies such as the National Science and Technology Center for Disaster Reduction, the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Water Resources Agency, the Council of Agriculture's Fisheries Agency, the Ocean Affairs Council's Coast Guard Administration, and the Ministry of Transportation and Communications' Tourism Bureau. Additionally, the data is published on marine meteorological observation websites for use across various sectors, enhancing early warning and disaster prevention capabilities.

Sustainable Impact: aligns with SDG13.3.3 by contributing to cooperative planning for climate change disasters through real-time data collection and collaboration with government agencies. By supporting the Central Weather Bureau in deploying and maintaining marine weather buoys, this initiative provides critical meteorological data to enhance weather forecasting and disaster preparedness. The real-time information is shared with multiple government agencies, aiding in early warning systems and minimizing the impact of extreme weather events. This cooperative effort helps prevent property loss, ensure maritime safety, and improve disaster response strategies, contributing to regional and local climate resilience.

全球面臨氣候變遷的重大議題，極端氣候的產生對人類的生活、生命、財產有著重大的危害，中央氣象署若是能精準有效的蒐集資料氣象資料，更能提供民眾更準確的氣象預報，使民眾能避開致災天候，確保海域休憩活動、漁船作業、航行交通、生態環境保護、工程作業、資源調查等能順利進行。

海洋資料浮標為目前國際間大量使用來蒐集海洋環境資料的儀器，全球約有500座錨繫式海上資料浮標，因為置放在海洋環境之中，經海浪拍打、侵蝕設備老化故障頻率增高，錨繫、繩索一但斷裂更會導致浮標移位，而無法執行觀測任務，因此每年重新布建或更換設備成為級具重要的任務之一。

國立臺灣海洋大學研發處研究船船務中心新海研2號受中央氣象署委託，協助執行112年度資料浮標系統及錨繫設備更新維護，於113年6月23日出海抵達彭佳嶼資料浮標預定地點，詳細確認附近水深地形狀況後，開始進行浮標布放作業，再前往資料浮標舊錨碇點與潛水員小艇會合，由潛水員進行舊資料浮標水下錨繫解開作業，再將舊浮標吊至後甲板固定，完成資料浮標回收作業，並現場確認新資料正確後完成任務返航。

海氣象浮標能正確紀錄氣壓、水溫、氣溫、波高、波浪週期、波向、風向風速等數據，每一筆數據都能在幾分鐘內完成資料傳輸，達到即時提供最新數據給氣象預報人員及防災救護單位，降低災害造成的人員及財產損失，使海上各項作業、經濟活動等能更順暢。

資料浮標傳回大量的海象資訊，成為天氣預告、海上安全評估等重要數據，經海經中央氣象署蒐集彙整其他數據後，即時傳送至國家防災防救科技中心、經濟部水利署、農委會漁業署、海洋委員會海巡署、交通部觀光局等相關單位，且公布於海象觀測網站提供民間各個領域使用，達到預警、災害防治等效能。

永續影響力: 此計畫透過部署海洋氣象浮標提供即時數據，加強天氣預報和災害應變，並與多個政府單位合作，提升氣候韌性與海上安全。
