In recent years, the position of the Yellow River Estuary (YRE) entrance has changed frequently, and human activities such as land reclamation have contributed to the transformation of the deltaic topography. These combined factors have resulted in altered hydrodynamics and tidal shear fronts (TSFs) in the surrounding sea area. However, there are few studies on the characteristics of the TSFs before and after diversion, so thi...

This study investigated the dynamic and thermal responses of cyclonic eddies (CEs) to Typhoon Surigae in the western North Pacific Ocean using satellite data and a coupled ocean–atmosphere model. Observations and simulations revealed that the typhoon enhanced the two preexisting CEs (C1 and C2). After the typhoon passed the two eddies, the sea surface height (SSH) lowered and the eddy velocity increased above 200 m. C1 was str...

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 patc...

Typhoons are serious natural disasters in coastal areas. During the summer of 2011, successive typhoons Nesat and Nalgae appeared in the South China Sea, providing a unique opportunity for us to study the response of the upper ocean to successive typhoons. We comprehensively use satellite data and COAWST model data to explore the effects of successive typhoons on the temperature structure of the South China Sea. Nesat caused t...
