ON THE COVER
Photo taken from R/V Ocean Researcher I after finishing physical
and biological sampling along a section of the Kuroshio east of
Taiwan in September 2014. The large ocean circulation such as
that of the North Pacific conveys tremendous heat, water mass,
and energy from the equatorial to the mid-latitude ocean and
thus is a vital component of Earth’s climate system. The joint
effort of the US Origins of the Kuroshio and Mindanao Current
and the Taiwan Observations of the Kuroshio Transports and
Variability programs is providing a new look into the variabil-
ity and connectivity of the North Equatorial Current, Mindanao
Current, and Kuroshio in the western Pacific.
