Biological Impact of Typhoon Wipha in the Coastal Area of Western Guangdong: A Comparative Field Observation Perspective

The impact of typhoons on the ecology of the ocean has been observed using high‐accuracy satellite remote sensing data. However, few field observations in the ocean have been conducted to understand the effect of typhoons on the biogeochemistry because typhoon is furious, dangerous, and unpredictabl...

Description
Summary:The impact of typhoons on the ecology of the ocean has been observed using high‐accuracy satellite remote sensing data. However, few field observations in the ocean have been conducted to understand the effect of typhoons on the biogeochemistry because typhoon is furious, dangerous, and unpredictable. Here, we investigated the impact of Typhoon Wipha on the biogeochemistry of the coastal area of western Guangdong, northwest South China Sea. Our results show that the typhoon triggered phytoplankton blooms (the level of Chl a increased 3.25 times after the typhoon) nearshore (water depths
