Contrasting Regulation of Upper‐Ocean Temperature and Salinity Responses to Tropical Cyclones by the Barrier Layer
This study investigates the role of the pre‐storm barrier layer (BL) in modulating the upper‐ocean response to tropical cyclones (TCs) from a global perspective. By synthesizing multi‐sensor satellite observations and in situ Argo profiles from 2003 to 2022, we show that the barrier layer thickness (BLT) exerts contr...
