Sea surface temperature (SST) is a major factor affecting the intensity of tropical cyclone (TC). The SST is not fixed, but decreasing during the passage of TCs due to a strong vertical mixing and upwelling. The TC-induced sea surface cooling along the track, called as "cold wake", plays a critical role in reducing the TC intensity. Here, we simulated the cold wake, a product of the air-sea interaction, during typhoon Bolaven in 2012 using a WRF-ROMS coupled model. Initial fields of WRF and ROMS are obtained from GFS and HYCOM global models, respectively. Clouds of Bolaven are expressed using QCLOUD output of WRF and the cold wake is visualized using SST output of ROMS.
