Typhoons are known to substantially influence the coastal circulation and the associated biogeochemical processes. The transport of Changjiang Diluted Water (CDW), an important source to the coastal current in the East China Sea (ECS), varies markedly under the influence of typhoons. This study quantitively details the downcoast transport of CDW driven by Typhoon Chan-Hom in the summer of 2015. Salinity measurements 3 days after the typhoon’s passage showed the presence of a large volume of low salinity water, up to 70 km wide and 20 m thick along the Zhejiang-Fujian coastal area with an estimated freshwater volume of 3.7×1010 m3. A three-endmember mixing model shows that the CDW’s contribution to the study area’s surface waters (<10 m) immediately after the typhoon was as high as 40% (average 32%), much greater than the contribution under normal summer conditions of 8% (average 3%). The vast spreading of CDW along the Zhejiang-Fujian coast created a strong stratification in the upper water column that limited the diffusion of CDW in the study area. The calculated and observed results suggest that these abnormal low salinity water could stay in the study area for 13-21 days. Additional nutrients in the CDW elevated the Chlorophyll-a concentration in the upper water column (mean 3.74 mg m-3) and produced large amount of particulate organic carbon (POC).

“…Typhoons are extreme weather events that cause serious social and economic losses in coastal and estuarine areas worldwide (Peduzzi et al, 2012;Walsh et al, 2016;Cong et al, 2021). Owing to strong sea-air interactions, typhoons have remarkable effects on water level rise (Wang et al, 2020), tidal range changes (Pan et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021), water circulation structure (Wu et al, 2016), sediment transport (Liu et al, 2011), and sea bed evolution (van Rijn, 2011;Xu, 2019).…”

Typhoons are extreme weather events that cause serious social and economic losses in coastal and estuarine areas worldwide. Understanding the impact of typhoons on sediment dynamics is essential for protecting coastal areas from these marine disasters. Hangzhou Bay is macro-tidal, turbid, and frequently affected by strong typhoons. In this study, we established and validated a three-dimensional model coupling waves, current, and sediment to investigate the sediment dynamics in Hangzhou Bay during Typhoon Chan-hom. The results showed that high suspended sediment concentration (SSC) areas during the typhoon were mainly located at the bay head and near the southern shore near the Andong tidal flat. The maximum bottom SSC was at least twice that near the surface. The peak bottom SSC values at the peak flood (6 g/L) were larger than those at the peak ebb (5 g/L) owing to the stronger current velocity at peak flood. The SSC near the northern shore was larger at the peak flood than at other times, and the SSC was high at the southern shore at peak ebb at the cross-section near the Andong tidal flat. The typhoon impacted SSC by changing the bottom stress. SSC was most influenced by wave action, followed by wind stress action, and was least influenced by air pressure action, which contributed 71.3%, 69.9%, and 1.8% to the bottom stress, respectively. Our findings are scientifically important for research on geomorphological evolution and are practically meaningful for coastal management.
