Kamchatka Current

The Kamchatka Current is a cold-water current flowing southwestward in the Bering Sea, along the Siberian Kamchatka Peninsula. It receives water from the Bering Slope Current. A portion of this current then becomes the Oyashio Current while the remainder joins the warmer North Pacific Current.
