Horizontal evolution characteristics of near-inertial sea surface currents induced by the tropical cyclones in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay area

Key Points

• Near-inertial sea surface currents evolve distinctly during tropical cyclones, impacting ocean dynamics.
• Maximum current speeds reached up to 1.2 meters per second, showcasing cyclone influence.
• Analysis of satellite data reveals patterns in sea surface currents during cyclone events in the region.
• Findings highlight the importance of understanding current behavior for marine navigation and climate studies.
