The response of upper ocean to the tropical cyclones in the northwestern Pacific during 2001—2004 was discussed and analyzed using the data from Argo profiling floats. The results showed that after tropical cyclones passing, about 55.6% of the profiles showed deepening of the mixed layer depth (MLD) with a scope between 0—60m, which became more obvious within five days after the cyclones passing. Induced by strong turbulent mixing, the mixed layer temperature (MLT) at 77.8% of the observed profiles decreased, by 5℃ at the most; the mixed layer salinity (MLS) also decreased by 0.12 on average at 61.1% of the observed profiles. The estimated surface velocity increased at 54% of the observed profiles, with an average increment of 30 cm·s -1, presenting a positive correlation to wind speed, with a correlation coefficient of 0.06. The change of MLT showed a negative correlation to wind speed, with a correlation coefficient of -0.15. The temperature decrease indicated a rightward bias, especially at the location 50—150km to the right of the cyclone tracks; while the change of MLS almost had the symmetrical distribution on the two sides of the tracks. The MLD deepened more distinctly on the right side of the cyclones and reached its climax in the range of 100—150km. The change of MLD was negatively correlated to the initial MLD before cyclones passing, with a correlation coefficient of -0.42.
