 * In the QPE study area, we observed initially that there was a high degree of small-scale salinity and temperature features likely associated with the typhoon-enhanced river runoff (Figure 1). In addition, there was substantial cooling in the area (up to 6 degrees C. as measured at Pengjia Island) after the typhoon passed by.
 * At the noon hour on April 9, President flew by helicopter to Pengjia Islet, where he unveiled a monument inscribed with an eight-character Chinese phrase meaning "peace in the South China Sea and our national territory secure forever." While there, the president delivered a speech in which he explained the geographic and historical relationship between the Diaoyutai Islands and Taiwan's "three northern islets" (Pengjia Islet, Mianhua Islet, and Huaping Islet), and reiterated the government's firm resolve to pursue regional peace and create "Peace in the Three Seas."
 * The Chinese Wild Bird Federation (CWBF) is also conducting a feasibility study on a project to attract Short-tailed Albatross (Phoebastria albatrus) to an island in their former range, Pengjia Island, north of Taiwan proper. As there are already populations on the nearby Diaoyutai Islands, the use of decoys and vocalizations are being explored to get the globally threatened species to return to previous breeding colonies. In the 1950's Pengjia Island used to be home to millions of breeding albatross every year.
