Features: This volume is part of the series of papers from the project "Research on the Formation Mechanism and Prediction Theory of Major Climate and Weather Disasters in China," one of the first batch of initiatives under the "National Key Basic Research Development Plan." It focuses on the research achievements of the project regarding the spatiotemporal distribution characteristics and formation mechanisms of major climate disasters such as droughts and floods in China. The volume includes 39 papers, covering the following five research areas: (1) The East Asian climate system and its impact on climate disasters; (2) Variations in the Asian monsoon and their effects on droughts and floods in China; (3) Characteristics of floods in the Yangtze and Huaihe River Basins and the eastern region of China and their influencing factors; (4) Persistent drought disasters in North China and their relationship with decadal climate system variations; (5) The relationship between major climate disasters in China and global climate change. This book serves as a reference for researchers in atmospheric science, oceanography, and environmental science, as well as faculty and students at relevant institutions. It is also valuable for professionals engaged in disaster prevention and mitigation, environmental protection, and global change research.
