Impacts of 2009 typhoons on seawater properties in the Western North Pacific Ocean by Dayang Siti Maryam Mohd Hanan

“…Although the life span of a typhoon over an area is relatively short, it has shown to bring positive impacts: as it is a natural heat removal mechanism, transferring of heat from the tropical waters to mid latitude waters will therefore maintain a moderate and suitable temperature for life; as well as increasing the rate of primary production in the ocean from turbulent mixing and upwelling caused by passing of the typhoons.…”
