Determining the different effects of "heat pumping" and "cold suction" of typhoons on ocean stratification is the core of understanding the generation, propagation, and dissipation mechanisms of NIWs under typhoons. To illustrate the effect of different stratification changes on both sides of the typhoon track, the Regional Ocean Modelling System (ROMS) was used to simulate the NIWs caused by Typhoon Kalmaegi (2014). The results demonstrated that although the wind energy input at the sea surface on the right side of the typhoon track is much higher than that on the left side, due to the stronger turbulent dissipation and the different stratification responses on both sides of the typhoon track, the near-inertial energy injection from the left side of the typhoon track to the deep ocean is stronger than the right side. Our work could help to improve the understanding of three-dimensional circulation driven by moving typhoons in a stratified ocean and provide a new perspective on how to design a proper parameterization scheme that takes into account the effects of typhoons in climate models.
