DOI: 10.1002/2017jc012956
Abstract: Tropical cyclone intensity is strongly affected by the air-sea heat flux beneath the storm. When strong storm winds enhance upper ocean turbulent mixing and entrainment of colder water from below the thermocline, the resulting sea… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2021gl093632
Abstract: The western tropical Pacific Ocean (WTPO) features complicated ocean circulation systems and has the warmest world open‐ocean waters. Small upper ocean temperature change there can exert significant impact on the regional coral reef ecosystems. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2023gl102930
Abstract: The frequent typhoons in the northwest Pacific drive oceanic responses, for example, changes in sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll‐a (Chl‐a). A composite analysis shows that SST (Chl‐a) around the typhoon center decreases (increases). The… read more here.
