Typhoon passages typically induce significant upper-ocean responses, especially on the right side of the typhoon track. However, how mesoscale eddies modulate this left–right asymmetry remains insufficiently understood. Using high-resolution remote sensing data and reanalysis datasets, this study examines the impacts of a mesoscale eddy dipole influenced by Typhoon Ma-on (2011). The study finds that: (1) The eddy responses exh...

The Kuroshio–Oyashio Transition Zone (KOTZ) serves as a vital dynamic interface between the warm Kuroshio Extension and the cold Oyashio Current. However, severe sea conditions with strong ocean currents, winds and waves pose challenges for sustained in situ observations of both oceanic and atmospheric variables. This paper introduces the China Kuroshio Extension Observatory (CKEO), a moored observatory program designed for lo...
