Taiwan Ocean Research Institute

Taiwan Ocean Research Institute is a earth science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Taiwan Ocean Research Institute rather than just read about it. In short: The Taiwan Ocean Research Institute (TORI; Chinese: 台灣海洋科技研究中心; pinyin: Táiwān Hǎiyáng Kējì Yánjiū Zhōngxīn) is the national marine science and technology institute of Taiwan. TORI is part of the National Applied Research Laboratories under the auspices of the Ministry of Science and Technology (Taiwan).

Key takeaways

Taiwan Ocean Research Institute belongs to earth science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Taiwan Ocean Research Institute to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Taiwan Ocean Research Institute from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Taiwan Ocean Research Institute (TORI; Chinese: 台灣海洋科技研究中心; pinyin: Táiwān Hǎiyáng Kējì Yánjiū Zhōngxīn) is the national marine science and technology institute of Taiwan. TORI is part of the National Applied Research Laboratories under the auspices of the Ministry of Science and Technology (Taiwan).

History TORI was founded in 2008 to increase collaboration with international research institutes and build on Taiwan's legacy of oceanographic research. TORI is participating in the development of the first domestic Taiwanese AUV. In 2018 the research vessel Legend conducted a number of meteorological and hydrological surveys in the South China Sea. In 2019 TORI organized the Underwater Technology 19 (UT19) conference in Kaohsiung, the conference was hosted by National Sun Yat-sen University.

Vessels

In 2018 CSBC Corporation, Taiwan held a steel cutting ceremony for the third of three new ocean research vessels for TORI. The vessels are intended to enhance Taiwan's whole-of-ocean observation capability. The three vessels, one 1000-ton and two 500-ton, are expected to be delivered in June 2019.

Ocean R/V I 794-tonne research vessel, operated by National Taiwan University.

Ocean R/V II 294-tonne research vessel, operated by National Taiwan Ocean University.

Ocean R/V III 295-tonne research vessel, operated by National Sun Yat-sen University.

Ocean R/V V Ocean Researcher V was a 2,700 research vessel which sank off the Penghu Islands in 2014 during Typhoon Vongfong.

New Ocean R/V I Launched in 2020.

Legend (勵進) Legend is a 2,629-ton research vessel with a crew of 19 that can accommodate up to 24 researchers. She was built in Vietnam by Singapore's Triyards Marine Services (TMS) at a cost of NTD870 million and features a hybrid-electric propulsion system. The ship was officially starting service on May 23, 2018.

Equipment TORI operates an Iver2 AUV system acquired in 2010.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Taiwan Ocean Research Institute

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Taiwan Ocean Research Institute claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Taiwan Ocean Research Institute before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Taiwan Ocean Research Institute ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Taiwan Ocean Research Institute

In research: Taiwan Ocean Research Institute appears in earth science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Taiwan Ocean Research Institute in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Taiwan Ocean Research Institute is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2008 establishments in Taiwan, Hydrology organizations, Oceanographic organizations, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Taiwan Ocean Research Institute outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
