The region east of the Philippine Islands and north of New Guinea is the source and the terminus of some very large oceanic currents. The largest outflow is the Equatorial Counter‐current and an inflow nearly as large is the North Equatorial Current. Two lesser currents of like magnitude are the South Equatorial Current inbound and the Kuroshio outbound.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
