Abstract
The Maritime Silk Road belongs to the tropical cyclone prone seas, and is in the monsoon transformation zone. The islands and reefs are numerous and the wind and wave characteristics are complex. An internsive study of the wind climate and wave climate of the Maritime Silk Road is a prerequisite for the efficient and safety development and utilization of the ocean and for disaster prevention and reduction. Due to the scarcity of data, temporal-spatial resolution, precision and other issue, there are very few studies on the remote islands and reefs. The chapter takes an important remote island as the object of researching. Using the CCMP wind data to drive the WW3 wave model, thus to obtain the wave filed in the China seas. Then the wind climate and wave climate of the important remote island were analyzed, based on the CCMP wind data and hindcast wave data, in hope of providing reference for the ocean navigation, development and utilization of marine resources, ocean engineering, disaster prevention and reduction, and so on.
