N2 - Even under extreme atmospheric and oceanic conditions such as tropical storms and typhoons, satellites and ARGO floats are continuously transferring their temperature observations to us at near real-time. These data enable us to monitor the typhoons and understand upper ocean response during typhoon events. Using both satellite data and ARGO float data, sea surface temperature (SST) response and mixed layer temperature (MLT) response are examined for the typhoons occurring from 2000 to 2003 in the North Pacific. There is a high correlation of temperature changes between MLT and SST, but shows dependence on latitude and initial mixed layer depth before arrival of typhoon. Statistically, majority of matchups for pre and post typhoon show the largest peak of MLT cooling of around 1.0°C and deepening of ML of about 56m after typhoon passage. This study presents overall statistical characteristics of upper ocean response during typhoon events and discusses their causes.
