Rainfall change contributes to modulating the Indonesian Throughflow and Indo-Pacific inter-basin exchanges
The Indonesia Seas is the only oceanic pathway that connects tropical ocean basins .The ITF is typically thought to be controlled by the pressure gradient between the tropical Pacific and Indian Ocean basins .Recently worked on this essential issue to b...The Indonesia Seas is the only oceanic pathway that connects tropical ocean basins. It contributes significant inter-basin exchange of heat and freshwater through the well-known Indonesia Throughflow (ITF, Figure 1). The ITF is typically thought to be c...
