Data from a Taiwanese study, KEEP-ll (Kuroshio Edge Exchange Processes- ll), of the continental margin area northeast of Taiwan will be incorporated into the model. The PI will collaborate with Taiwanese scientists by participating in these surveys in an advisory capacity, which will ensure the availability of the data.
