Abstract

Abstract

The spatio-temporal variations of sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height anomaly (SSHA) induced by three sequential typhoons in September 2008 were investigated by using multi-satellite data.Possible factors influence SST and SSHA variations were discussed.The typhoon-induced strong upwelling (1×10^-5-150×10^-5m/s) caused extreme sea surface cooling (1-6 ℃) and significant SSHA decrease(10-50 cm).Besides, the typhoon-induced maximum SST cooling centers were closely associated with negative sea surface height (or mesoscale eddy) area.Furthermore, the results provide convincible evidences that the typhoon translation speed (or forcing time), typhoon intensity and pre-existing cold eddy may play important roles in this process.A cyclonic eddy emerged in the pre-existing positive SSHA area due to the three sequential typhoons forced jointly.This study implies that some typhoons, e.g., sequential typhoons passing over the same area, may play a notable role in ocean mesoscale eddies generating processes.
