Upwlling cold water along east coast and northeast coast of Taiwan can be clearly see spreeding north on the self of East China Sea offshore off Chinese southeast coast toward Yantze River. These cold water are likely the source of Zhejiang coastal upwelling. Farther to the northeast from Twaiwan there is consistent upwelling on the selfbreak of ECS along Kuroshio. Upwelling on the Taiwan Bank at west side of Penhu Channel is also evident. The mechanisms that induce upwelling in the regions were explored in Ko et al (2016).
