Abstract
Taiwan Ocean Radar Observing System (TOROS) of TORI has completed establishing 18 stations under CODAR system progressively since 2009 to January 2015 including twelve 5 MHz stations and six 13/24 MHz stations. To eliminate the blind area in offshore observation of the island, the FALA standard station has been added in September 2017 to gain currents data from Pingtung coastal area to Hsiao Liouciou Island. Setting up the FALA station has provided fine data support for marine science research and salvage.
