East Korea Warm Current

The East Korea Warm Current (EKWC) is an oceanic current in the Northwest Pacific Ocean that flows along the eastern coast of the Korean Peninsula. It is part of the larger Kuroshio Current system, which is characterized by warm water flowing northward. The EKWC originates from the Tsushima Current and moves northward along the eastern coast of South Korea, influencing local climate, marine ecosystems, and fisheries.
