Abstract

The impact of extreme weather events on the navigation environment in the inland waterways of Yangtze River is an interdisciplinary hotspot in subjects of climate regulating service, maritime traffic safety, and maritime meteorology, and it is also a difficult research field for the implementation of decision-making and management by maritime and meteorological departments in China.
