The most essential and precious treasure in our life is knowing and getting acquainted with real good teachers and helpful friends. My mentor, Director Tsung-Yao Wu, is not only a senior weather practitioner and meteorologist in Taiwan, but is also an expert of typhoon forecasting worldwide. His dedication and enthusiasm to his weather career is awe-inspiring. While working in the Central Weather Bureau, Director Wu set up four goals of governance: Increasing weather equipment, improving numerical weather prediction, strengthening meteorological personnel training, promoting international cooperation and technology exchange, in order to break the bottleneck of weather-forecast technology, and to improve monitoring and forecasting accuracy of severe weather, such as typhoon, torrential rain, cold current and drought. His effort created an essential milestone of modern meteorological business and opened up new prospects of weather careers in Taiwan. Director Wu is bold and global in outlook, and his excellent leadership is worth admiration and respect from following people. It’s hoped that junior weather practitioners can also aware of his noble character and unquestionable integrity.
