Research on Cold Core Eddy Change and Phytoplankton Bloom Induced by Typhoons: Case Studies in the South China Sea

Figure 7

(a)-(b) The change of chl-a concentration under the influence of typhoon Hagibis in the CCE area. Colorbar is the natural logarithm value of chl-a concentration. The closed contour indicates the CCE area on 24 November. (a) Prestorm chl-a distribution from 9 November to 16 November, 2007. (b) The poststorm chl-a distribution from 25 November to 2 December, 2007. (c)-(d) The change of CCE under the influence of typhoon Hagibis. (c) The SSHA image shows the CCE on 21 November before typhoon Hagibis. (d) The SSHA image shows the CCE on 28 November after typhoon Hagibis. The thick black solid line in figures (b) and (d) is the track of Hagibis.
