“…Despite these high-quality observations of the ocean response on one side or both sides of a typhoon and the variations in air-sea parameters during a typhoon (Bond et al, 2011;Zhang et al, 2016;Wu et al, 2020), there is still a lack of high-resolution measurements before, during, and after the passage of a typhoon near its eye. To better understand the air-sea interactions during a typhoon and improve the prediction accuracy of typhoons in the Western Pacific Ocean (Chang et al, 2017), the Institute of Oceanography at National Taiwan University (NTU) has deployed two buoys off southeastern Taiwan to measure highresolution meteorological and oceanic environmental data. In July 2016, Typhoon Nepartak quickly developed into a super typhoon, and its eye passed directly over the buoys' positions, which provided a unique opportunity to obtain high-resolution air-sea observations of typhoon-induced changes in the upper ocean and better understand atmospheric conditions near the eye of the typhoon, the heat exchange between the atmosphere and ocean during typhoons, and the response of the upper ocean to super typhoons.…”
