Description:Saffir-Simpson Category-4 Typhoon Malakas crossed the Kuroshio, the Western Boundary Current of the North Pacific Ocean, and moved along the path of the Kuroshio for eight days between September 12 and 20, 2016. Malakas induced a 3–4°C sea surface cooling and an increase in sea surface Chlorophyll-a concentration to 0.8 mg/m3. The total cooling area was approximately 18,000 km2. Satellite observations show that Malakas triggered two upwelling regions associated with two mesoscale eddies, both to the northeast of Taiwan. The Regional Oceanic Modeling System (ROMS) was employed to offer insights into the dynamical mechanisms on the ocean response to a typhoon. The numerical model
