臺灣海洋探測技術進展概述

Progress of Ocean Observing Technology in Taiwan

海洋科學仰賴紮實的探測能力，以進行海洋物理、化學、生物、和地質四大基礎領域的探討。近年來，我國除了已陸續完成三艘研究船的汰舊換新與效能提升的硬體建設，在探測技術與儀器系統整合的開發上也有了長足的進步。本文概述即時海氣象浮標、水下自主滑翔觀測儀、多音束測深系統和三維及長支距震測系統的進展。

It is crucial to ramp up the exploration capability to investigate physical, chemical, biological and geological aspects of the ocean. In the past few years, not only have three old research vessels been replaced by new ones but also advancement of ocean expedition and instrument system integration technique are attained in oceanography community of Taiwan. The progresses in real-time meteorological/ocean buoy, unmanned underwater vehicle, multi-beam echo sounder, three-dimensional and long-range seismic system are reported.
