Abstract:We used Biogeochemical-Argo (BGC-Argo) float observation profiles and satellite data to investigate the physical-biogeochemical processes of a phytoplankton biomass rise in the Kuroshio region south of Japan during a period of two sequential tropical cyclones (TCs)—Hagibis and Neoguri—in October 2019. During TC Hagibis, prominent sea surface cooling and surface chlorophyll-a (Chl-a) increase occurred within a pre-existing cyclonic eddy (CE) south of Japan. Because of TC-induced mixing and upwelling, the maximu… Show more
