    Abstract
    Upper ocean responses to tropical storms/hurricanes have been extensively studied using satellite observations. However, resolving concurrent sea surface temperature (SST) and chlorophyll α (chl α) responses along storm tracks remains a major challenge due to extensive cloud coverage in satellite images. Here we produce daily cloud-free SST and chl α reconstructions based on the Data INterpolating Empirical Orthogonal Function method over a 10 year period (2003–2012) for the Gulf of Mexico and Sargasso Sea regions. Daily reconstructions allow us to characterize and contrast previously obscured subweekly SST and chl α responses to storms in the two main storm-impacted regions of the Atlantic Ocean. Statistical analyses of daily SST and chl α responses revealed regional differences in the response time as well as the response sensitivity to maximum sustained wind speed and translation speed. This study demonstrates that SST and chl α responses clearly depend on regional ocean conditions and are not as universal as might have been previously suggested.

      Distinct influence of air–sea interactions mediated by mesoscale sea surface temperature and surface current in the Arabian Sea 

      Seo, Hyodae (American Meteorological Society, 2017-09-08)
      During the southwest monsoons, the Arabian Sea (AS) develops highly energetic mesoscale variability associated with the Somali Current (SC), Great Whirl (GW), and cold filaments (CF). The resultant high-amplitude anomalies ...
