海洋科学学术讲座预告第492期：Air-Sea dynamical interaction between twin typhoons and their impact on sea surface cooling and rainfall variations

Saola and Damrey were two typhoons that passed across the Northwest Pacific Ocean (NPO) between July 27 and August 4, 2012. This study investigated variations in Sea Surface Temperature (SST), Latent Heat Flux (LHF), Moisture Flux (MF), and rainfall in response to twin typhoons On August 1, 2012, the right side of Typhoon Damrey experienced a significant SST drop of 3.6°C owing to mixing and 2.5°C decrease observed due to Damrey. Typhoon Saola's rainfall variations indicate that Taiwan and China's east coast received higher rainfall. However, Damrey produced less rainfall. The wind field and Ekman transport clearly show the effect of Saola on Damrey’s track change.
