Assessing the impact of the Kuroshio Current on vertical cloud structure using CloudSat data [PDF]
This study analyzed CloudSat satellite data to determine how the warm ocean Kuroshio Current affects the vertical structure of clouds. Rainfall intensity around the middle troposphere (6 km in height) over the Kuroshio was greater than that over ...

Observed Warm Filaments from the Kuroshio Associated with Mesoscale Eddies
Based on high resolution satellite observations of sea surface temperature (SST), warm filaments near the Kuroshio around the Luzon Strait were systematically identified. These filaments extend an average length of about 200 km from the Kuroshio.

Typhoon Effect on Kuroshio and Green Island Wakes: A Modelling Study
Green Island, located in the typhoon-active eastern Taiwan coastal water, is the potential Kuroshio power plant site. In this study, a high resolution (250–2250 m) shallow-water equations model is used to investigate the effect of typhoon on the hydro ...

Warming and weakening trends of the Kuroshio during 1993–2013
Global warming seems leveling off somewhat during 1993–2013 despite increasing atmospheric greenhouse gases. What has happened to the Kuroshio Current system concurrently? Available independent data sets from 1993 to 2013 point to a single answer.

The observation records from whale and dolphin watching inshore of Hualien, eastern Taiwan [PDF]
The eastern waters of Taiwan have been lacking baseline and research data for several years. This study was initiated by Kuroshio Ocean Education Foundation (KOEF) in collaboration with the Turumoan whale-watching company since 1998, collecting long-term
