Abstract
Typhoon winds cause a disturbance over sea surface water in the right side of typhoon where divergence occurred, which leads to upwelling and chlorophyll maximum found after typhoon landfall. Ekman transport at the surface was computed during the typhoon period. Upwelling can be observed through lower SST and Ekman transport at the surface over the coast, and chlorophyll maximum found after typhoon landfall. This study also compared MODIS and SeaWiFS satellite data and also the chlorophyll maximum area. The chlorophyll area decreased 3% and 5.9% while typhoon passing and after landfall area increased 13% and 76% in SeaWiFS and MODIS data respectively.
