<b>Tropical </b><b>C</b><b>yclones Can Promote Subsurface Marine Heatwaves and Extend Thei

A high-resolution ocean model dataset analyzing the three-dimensional evolution of Marine Heatwaves (MHWs) during interactions with tropical cyclones. The data, created by hang yu and last updated in April 2026, focuses on the record-breaking MHW event in the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, where three consecutive cyclones were studied. It proposes a novel 'sink–latent–reemergence' mechanism for how cyclones can prolong subsurface warming.

Use Cases

• Modeling the vertical heat transfer and persistence of marine heatwaves based on the described 'sink–latent–reemergence' mechanism.
• Analyzing the impact of tropical cyclones on subsurface ocean temperature anomalies based on the described interactions of latent heat release, mixing, and advection.
• Investigating the potential reemergence of sequestered thermal anomalies in following seasons based on the framework described in the dataset.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 3.8 GB, suggesting a substantial volume of model output data.
• Based on a high-resolution ocean model and four-dimensional tracking techniques as described.
• Analysis includes four additional historical events to confirm the proposed mechanism.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for specific analytical tasks.
