The major contribution from Taiwan to the international JGOFS program at
present is the Kuroshio-East China Sea Shelf Exchange Processes study, which
is the second phase of the Kuroshio Edge Exchange Processes program (KEEP-II).
KEEP-I (1989-1994) was originally developed out of the interest of Taiwanese
oceanographers in the water exchange across the Kuroshio frontal zone in the
East China Sea northeast of Taiwan and the concomitant biogeochemical fluxes.
As the significance of carbon fluxes at the continental margins was increas-
ingly recognized, KEEP had been included in the JGOFS implementation plan and
the second phase was developed and supported by the National Science Council
located in Taipei. The goals of KEEP-II are three fold:
1. To observe and determine the water and material (especially, carbon)
exchange fluxes between the Kuroshio and the East China Sea shelf;
2. To assess the biological resources in the East China Sea;
3. To trace the transport of sediments and anthropogenic materials in the
East China Sea.
There are 26 projects in this program, which is expected to continue until
1997. The third phase of the program, i.e., KEEP-III, is currently under plan-
ning. The titles and principal investigators of the KEEP-II projects are listed
below.
