Abstract
The tropical cyclones (TCs)-ocean interaction is an important process that modulates the intensity and track of TCs, and the ocean response is modulated by pre-existing mesoscale eddies. In this study, the response characteristics of the sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll a (Chl-a) concentration caused by several typhoons were analyzed, as well as the impact of the TCs’ moving speed and turning by using satellite remote sensing data and WOA18 datasets. In terms of the temperature and salinity response of the upper ocean, Typhoon Nakri induced a very strong SST cooling (6 ℃), caused two main sea areas of SST cooling on the sea surface and a long-term Chl-a bloom concentration of bloom center of 2.4 mg m−3. We reckoned when Typhoon Nakri interacted with the cold eddy, the nutrient-rich cold waters will flow up to the mixed layer easily and induce the growth of Chl-a concentration. The results of this case study provided reference for relevant study during and after the typhoon in the South China Sea.
