Abstract

Abstract

The temperature and salinity profiles of the ARGO floats in the warm pool of the northwestern Pacific were analyzed.The results show that when typho on passes,the sea surface salinity (SSS) usually decreases in mosto bservations,which is in contrast with that of the observations from the Atlantic Ocean where the SSS usually increases when hurricane passes.This is related to the typical thermal structure in this warm pool region and the differences between the precipitation processes associated with the typhoon in the two oceans.The result is of importance to the study of the heat exchange proceeses and the mixing of the mixed layer in the warm pool of the northwestern Pacific.
