Central Weather Bureau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Central Weather Bureau (CWB, 中央氣象局) is the government meteorological research and forecasting institution of the Republic of China (Taiwan). In addition to meteorology, the CWB also conducts research into seismology and provides earthquake reports.

The CWB is headquartered in Taipei City and is administered under the Ministry of Transportation and Communications.

The CWB was established in 1941 in Chongqing under the Executive Yuan. In 1947 (and again in 1971 onwards) it was re-assigned to the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. After 1949, the CWB relocated from China to Taiwan. From 1957 to 1947 it was under the control of the Taiwan Provincial Weather Institution.
