Impact of Typhoons on the Western Pacific: Temporal and Horizontal Variability of SST Cooling

Abstract

The long-term goal of this project (now in the first half of the first year of the ITOP program) is to understand what ocean and hurricane parameters, e.g., upper ocean temperature gradient, initial mixed-layer depth, etc., contribute to the along-track variation of SST cooling beneath and behind moving hurricanes.
