Description
Kuroshio and Pacific ocean currents. Satellite-based graphic showing ocean currents (swirling coloured lines) on a partial Earth globe centred on the north-western Pacific. The colours indicate ocean temperatures, ranging from the warm tropics (red) to cooler water (green) in more temperate latitudes. Ocean currents seen here include the Kuroshio current off Japan and warmer equatorial currents further south. The dusk terminator (day-night line) is at right, marking the places from where the Sun is seen setting in the west as the Earth rotates on its axis.
