摘要	A winter storm triggered a significant sea smoke with the northwesterly wind to the Yellow Sea, China, on 7 January 2021. The ocean responses to this event lasted about 3 days. Satellite observations show that the sea surface temperature dropped from 5.7 degrees to 4.7 degrees C on the following day and then recovered to the previous level; the chlorophyll-a, a bio-growth indicator, increased from 3.6 to 3.9 mg m(-3) due to cooling-induced coastal upwelling between 7 and 9 January. Two buoys measurements showed that the air temperature dropped to -13.3 degrees C and high relative humidity with a maximum value of 89.0% above the sea surface, creating favorable conditions for sea smoke generation. A Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) and Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) Model coupled model with the Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) chemical module was implemented to reproduce this sea smoke phenomenon and analyze the air-sea interaction. The 20 degrees C temperature difference between extreme cold air (-13.3 degrees C) and the relatively warm stable sea surface (4.7 degrees-5.7 degrees C) enhanced the seawater evaporation. In addition, we suppose the concentration of sea salt, a kind of condensation nucleus, with a particle diameter of 0.5-1.5 mu m above the sea surface increased quickly on 7 January. The boiling-water-like sea surface was imaged on a synthetic aperture image. We developed an image analysis method to describe the cell-shaped texture characteristics imaged by Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). We also found that the sea surface imprints of sea smoke are governed by the thermal, not the dynamical instability. Significance StatementOn 7 January 2021, a significant sea smoke event happened in the Yellow Sea. The ocean response to the event lasted 3 days. First, on a synoptic scale, this study presents the comprehensive satellite observations of the sea surface temperature drop and chlorophyll-a increase associated with the sea smoke. Second, a coupled air-sea interaction model with the Goddard Chemistry Aerosol Radiation and Transport (GOCART) chemical module was implemented to reproduce this sea smoke phenomenon and identify which condensation nucleus induced such heavy sea smoke. Third, we developed an image analysis method to analyze high-resolution synthetic aperture radar images and found that the sea surface imprints of sea smoke are governed by the thermal, not the dynamical instability.
