Based on Argo observations and a coupled atmosphere–ocean–wave model, the upper ocean responses to the tropical cyclone (TC) Mekunu (2018) were investigated, and the role of a pre-existing cold eddy in modulating the temperature response to TC Mekunu was quantified by employing numerical experiments. With TC Mekunu’s passage, the mixed layer depth (MLD) on both sides of its track significantly deepened. Moreover, two cold patches (
