GREAT CIRCLE OCEAN RIVER IN PACIFIC OCEAN PROBED 



Scientists are probing the depth, origin and flow rate of the great circular ocean river 

 that constantly surges around the edges of the Pacific Ocean. 



This vast belt of moving water, sometimes 600 miles wide, affects in many unknown ways 

 the weather and climate of Pacific shores, as well as the movements of fish, crabs, plants, 

 and other marine life. 



The currentflows westalong the north edge of the equator, turns north at the Philippines 

 to form the Kuroshio Current, then crosses the North Pacific and heads south along the Pa- 

 cific coast as the California Current. 



Reports on the origin and depth of the Kuroshio Current, the Pacific Ocean's equivalent 

 of the Atlantic's Gulf Stream, were made by a Japanese ocean survey group. It was the first 

 phase of a cooperative ocean current study coordinated by the Intergovernmental Oceano- 

 graphic Commission, which is sponsored by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and 

 Cultural Organization (UNESCO). (Science News Letter, February 12, 1966.)
