Abstract

The sea surface wind field plays an important role in navigation, ocean engineering, disaster prevention and reduction, reef runway construction, take-off and landing of carrier planes, and so on. The Maritime Silk Road is located in the monsoon region, where there are obvious seasonal variations. It is also often invaded by tropical cyclones. Therefore, in-depth research on the wind climate of the Maritime Silk Road will make a positive contribution to the development of offshore wind energy as well as disaster prevention and reduction, which is presented in this chapter.
