Previous investigations confirm that typhoons deliver both dissolved oxygen and nutrient sources via promoting vertical/lateral exchanges between water masses. The former one replenishes oxygen for the bottom water and prevents persistent oxygen depletion, while the latter one facilitates primary pr...
