Combined they are the Kuroshio current, a warm current coming from the equator. After passing the Philippines, the Kuroshio splits into two currents when it passes by Orchid Island and Green Island off Taiwan's East Coast. They rejoin just north of Green Island and continue as a single current, flowing toward Okinawa.
這是來自赤道的太平洋暖流黑潮，流經菲律賓海域，走過台灣東岸時在蘭嶼和綠島分成左右兩股，又在綠島北岸合流，繼續奔向琉球群島的情景。
