  abstract = {{I}n this paper, we explore the global responses of surface temperature, chlorophyll, and primary production to tropical cyclones ({TC}s). {T}hose ocean responses are first characterized from the statistical analysis of satellite data under similar to 1000 {TC}s over the 1998-2007 period. {B}esides the cold wake, the vast majority of {TC}s induce a weak chlorophyll response, with only similar to 10% of induced blooms exceeding 0.1 mg m(-3). {T}he largest chlorophyll responses mostly occur within coastal regions, in contrast to the strongest cold wakes that generally occur farther offshore. {T}o understand this decoupling, we analyze a coupled dynamical-biogeochemical oceanic simulation forced by realistic wind vortices applied along observed {TC} tracks. {T}he simulation displays a realistic spatial structure of {TC}-induced blooms and its observed decoupling with {TC} cold wakes. {I}n regions of strong {TC} energy input, the strongest cold wakes occur in regions of shallow thermocline (<60m) and the strongest blooms in regions of shallow nitracline and/or subsurface chlorophyll maximum (<60 m). {S}hallow thermoclines are found over many open ocean regions, while regions of shallow nitracline and/or subsurface chlorophyll maximum are most prominent in near-coastal areas, explaining the spatial decoupling between the cold and bloom wakes. {T}he overall {TC} contribution to annual primary production is weak and amounts to similar to 1%, except in a few limited areas (east {E}urasian coast, {S}outh tropical {I}ndian {O}cean, {N}orthern {A}ustralian coast, and {E}astern {P}acific {O}cean in the {TC}-prone region) where it can locally reach up to 20-30%. {N}early 80% of this {TC}-induced annual primary production is the result of the biogeochemical response to the 30% strongest {TC}s.},
