Modulation of Upper Ocean Vertical Temperature Structure and Heat Content by a Fast-Moving Tropical Cyclone

Han Zhang

Summary: The study focused on the modulation of upper ocean vertical temperature structure after fast-moving tropical cyclones in the northern South China Sea. The effects of mixing and vertical advection on upper ocean temperature and heat response were examined. A parameterization approach based on mixing depth, transition layer thickness, and upwelling depth was able to reproduce sea surface temperature and upper ocean heat change. The study also highlighted how TC-induced mixing and advection influence the ocean heat budget.

How Does Air-Sea Wave Interaction Affect Tropical Cyclone Intensity? An Atmosphere-Wave-Ocean Coupled Model Study Based on Super Typhoon Mangkhut (2018)

Zhenning Li et al.

Summary: Capturing the intensity change of typhoons remains challenging for most advanced forecasting systems. Recent studies have found that the three-dimensional dynamics of the ocean and air-sea interface processes play a crucial role in typhoon intensity forecasts. Through numerical simulations, researchers demonstrated how the coupling of atmosphere-ocean and atmosphere-sea waves can affect the intensity of super typhoon Mangkhut in 2018.

A review of ocean-atmosphere interactions during tropical cyclones in the north Indian Ocean

Vineet Kumar Singh et al.

Summary: The north Indian Ocean accounts for 6% of global tropical cyclones annually. Some of the most devastating cyclones have formed in this basin, causing extensive damage. There is a two-way ocean-atmosphere interaction during cyclones, with high sea surface temperatures providing favorable conditions for cyclone formation while cyclones induce cold and salty wakes. The response of the ocean to cyclones varies in different seasons and regions of the north Indian Ocean. The increased cyclone intensification is influenced by rapid warming in the north Indian Ocean associated with global warming.

Enhanced Turbulent Mixing in the Upper Ocean Induced by Super Typhoon Goni (2015)

Mengtian Qiao et al.

Summary: This study examined the response of the upper ocean to Super Typhoon Goni in 2015 and revealed a significant enhancement of diapycnal diffusivity induced by the typhoon. The results showed that Goni caused a maximum sea surface temperature cooling of 7.7 degrees C, which was greater than most typhoons. The enhanced turbulent mixing was found to be consistent with Goni-induced near-inertial waves.

Impacts of wave feedbacks and planetary boundary layer parameterization schemes on air-sea coupled simulations: A case study for Typhoon Maria in 2018

Jingli Liu et al.

Summary: This study conducted numerical experiments to explore the sensitivity of typhoon track, intensity, structure, and oceanic response to the feedbacks of ocean surface waves and different planetary boundary layer parameterization schemes. The results showed that these factors have a significant impact on typhoon intensity and structure, especially the distribution of air-sea interface heat flux and the shape of the typhoon center.

Sea surface salinity variability in the western subpolar North Atlantic based on satellite observations

Rou Hu et al.

Summary: This study investigates the variability of sea surface salinity (SSS) in the western subpolar North Atlantic using satellite salinity products and in-situ observations. The study finds that while the satellite datasets successfully resolve the large scale SSS pattern, they are biased near the western boundary regions. The freshwater flux induced by sea ice formation/melting plays a dominant role in shaping the SSS annual cycle in the coastal regions of the western Labrador Sea. However, data gaps and uncertainties prevent accurate resolution of the seasonality in the Labrador Shelf. On the other hand, satellite data reasonably capture seasonal fluctuations near the Grand Banks, which are driven by both local freshwater flux associated with ice and advective signals from the north. The study also detects interannual variability in SSS, which is no longer controlled by ice formation/melting during the low salinity period in 2011-2012. Instead, the anomalies are mostly determined by oceanic advection. The study applies the Data Interpolating Empirical Orthogonal Function (DINEOF) method to satellite datasets to reduce bias and fill data gaps, resulting in improved performance in depicting seasonal cycles in both coastal regions and deep ocean.

Typhoon footprints on ocean surface temperature and chlorophyll-a in the South China Sea

Yuntao Wang et al.

Summary: A study reveals that typhoon-induced oceanic responses initiate before the arrival of the typhoon and continue to increase during its passage. The response is determined by both typhoon features and ocean status, with strong wind, slow translation speed, and shallow mixed layer depth leading to larger temperature changes. Chlorophyll-a response follows a similar pattern but is most closely related to a moderate mixed layer depth that favors phytoplankton blooms.

Influence of eddies and tropical cyclone heat potential on intensity changes of tropical cyclones in the North Indian Ocean

B. Jangir et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of eddies on tropical cyclone intensification in the North Indian Ocean basin using Sea Level Anomaly (SLA) data. Warm Core Eddy (WCE) generally intensified cyclones, Cold Core Eddy (CCE) reduced cyclone intensities, while Thermal Cyclone Heat Potential (TCHP) variations also affected cyclones. Cyclones not following the established trend were primarily influenced by translational speed.

Tropical cyclone-induced sea surface cooling over the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea in the 2019 Pacific typhoon season

Shoude Guan et al.

Summary: This study examines and contrasts the sea surface temperature (SST) responses of the shallow waters of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea to four tropical cyclones in the 2019 Pacific typhoon season. Lekima, with relatively weaker intensity, induced the largest and most widespread SST cooling over the Yellow Sea basin, attributed to the stratified and sharp thermal structure in August. The buoy observations show that over 80% of the TC-induced SST cooling occurred ahead of the TC eye center approaching, and the TC contributes significantly to the SST seasonal cycle of coastal waters by disrupting the seasonal SST evolution lasting for tens of days.

Upper ocean response to tropical cyclones: a review

Han Zhang et al.

Summary: Tropical cyclones induce various responses in the upper ocean, including near-inertial currents, strong waves, changes in temperature and salinity, and plankton blooms. These responses are controlled by TC-induced mixing, advection, and surface flux, and usually recover within several days to weeks. The characteristics of the upper ocean response depend on TC parameters and environmental factors, and recent advancements in observation methods and numerical models have improved our understanding of these processes.

Far-Field Impacts of a Super Typhoon on Upper Ocean Phytoplankton Dynamics

Guoqiang Qiu et al.

Summary: Super typhoon Rammasun traveled across the South China Sea in 2014, impacting phytoplankton dynamics in the far-field region, with surface chlorophyll-a concentration and particulate backscattering coefficient showing significant increases during and after the typhoon. These changes were attributed to physically driven vertical redistribution of particles during the typhoon passage and post-typhoon adjustment of the upper ocean.

Summary: The study comprehensively investigated the biophysical responses of the ocean to super typhoon Nida, revealing significant impact on sea surface and subsurface conditions. The typhoon experienced two Category 5 stages with different effects on sea surface temperature and chlorophyll-a concentration.
