“A Limited Effect of Sub-Tropical Typhoons on Phytoplankton Dynamics
Fei Chai, Yuntao Wang, Xiaogang Xing, Yunwei Yan, Huijie Xue, Mark Wells, and Emmanuel Boss” by Fei Chai et al.

Authors replied properly to all the pertinent points raised by the reviewers. Please include all the modifications mentioned in the replies to SC1, RC1,RC2 and RC3 in the revised version of the manuscript.
Additionally, I advise the Authors to stress why they introduce the delta-MLT and delta-MLC indicators, this allows to better understand what is the additional insight provided by Fig4c, in fact Figs3b,d already demonstrate their hypothesis.
As mentioned by RC1 the increase in shallow Chl in Fig.2 is difficult to see, could you use a different colormap?
Please, put a) and b) letters in Fig.2 in white, or in suitable color if you change colormap.

Authors replied properly to all the points raised by the reviewers and the revised version of the manuscript addresses such points.
I found some typos that I list below to be checked.

PG 6 lines 189-190: “presumably due to the MLD is deepening following its seasonal cycle” this sentence sounds strange please check.

PG7 line 202 “production in the upper ocean The measured increases” missing point.

PG9 line 275 “The standard float profiling cycles of every 5-10 days to extend their operational lifetimes (Johnson and Claustre, 2016);” missing verb in this sentence, please check.

PG 9 line 285 “, and the findings ..” specify which findings, probably you mean “our findings”

Dear Authors,
I am happy to confirm the acceptance of your work for publication in Biogeosciences.
Please consider the typos listed by the Associate Editor.
Congratulations for this new paper of yours
