Cold Sea Surface Temperature Near Cheju Island Responding To Strong Cyclonic Wind And Positive Geopotential Tendency Behind A Typhoon Center Along Its Track, Hyo Choi, Mi-Sook Lee, Soo Min Choi

Journal of Marine Science and Technology

The response of sea surface temperature (SST) before and after the passage of Typhoon-18 Songda in the vicinity of Chjeu Island in the southern sea of Korea was investigated using satellite-derived GOES-MCSST (SST), GOES infrared cloud image and a three dimensional WRF-3.0 model with FNL initial meteorological data on September 5 to 8, 2004. On September 4, before the typhoon passed by Cheju Island, the SST extending southwards and eastwards of the island was 27°C. However, after the typhoon passed by the island at 2100 LST, September 7, the SST decreased by 2°C to 25°C. Asymmetrical-cyclonic surface wind generated by …
