The Kuroshio Current is found in the North Pacific Ocean.
The Kuroshio current is found in the North Pacific Ocean.
It begins east of the Philippines then flows in a northeastward direction past Taiwan and Japan.
The surface waters of the Kuroshio Current are warm and salty. This is because the Kuroshio starts in the tropics where the westward flowing North Equatorial Current reaches the western boundary of the North Pacific.
The Kuroshio is the strongest current in the Pacific Ocean, and is also one of the most intense air-sea heat exchange regions on the globe. It influences climate as far as North America.
