  • Typhoons in the western Pacific have a significant impact on the transport of heat, salt and particles through the Luzon Strait. However, there are very limited field observations of this impact because of extreme difficulties and even dangers for ship-based measurements during the rough weather. Here, we present the preliminary results from analyzing a dataset collected by a glider deployed west of the Luzon Strait a few days prior to the arrival of typhoon MITAG. The gilder data revealed an abnormally salinity (>34.8) subsurface water apparently sourced from Kuroshio intrusion during the typhoon. When typhoon MITAG traveled on the east of the Luzon Strait, the positive wind stress curl strengthened the cyclonic eddy and weakened the anti-cyclonic eddy. This led to a slowdown of Kuroshio and made its intrusion easier. The main axis of the Kuroshio at the northern part of the strait shifted westward after the typhoon and did not return to its original position until a week later. The Ekman transport from persistent northerly wind of typhoon MITAG was significant, but its importance in enhancing the Kuroshio intrusion is only secondary relative to the eddies variations.
