A moving tropical cyclone is an intense localized source of surface wind stress and wind stress curl that produces a significant response in the ocean environment, especially in the ocean thermal structure, the upper ocean currents, and the sea surface elevation. Such a response has been well identified in the open-ocean region, but not in the coastal ocean region. In this study we use the Princeton Ocean Model with 20 km horizontal resolution and 23 sigma levels conforming to a realistic…
