  3. ENSO Indiceshttp://ioc3.unesco.org/oopc/state_of_the_ocean/all/

  4. Niño 3.4 The Niño3.4 SST anomaly index is an indicator of central tropical Pacific El Niño conditions. It is calculated with SSTs in the box 170°W - 120°W, 5°S - 5°N.

  6. Indian Ocean is different from other basins • – bounded by Asian land mass to the north • - leads to seasonal monsoon climate • Indian peninsula densely populated • (see http://www.crseo.ucsb.edu/esrg/IOM2/Start2_IOM.html)

  7. Differential heating/cooling of Tibet Plateau and Indian Ocean drives monsoon wind systems

  13. Southwest (Summer) Monsoon Currents A schematic representation of identified current branches during the Southwest Monsoon, including some choke point transport numbers (Sv=106m3s−1). Current branches indicated are the South Equatorial Current (SEC), South Equatorial Countercurrent (SECC), Northeast and Southeast Madagascar Current (NEMC and SEMC), East African Coast Current (EACC), Somali Current (SC), Southern Gyre (SG) and Great Whirl (GW) and associated upwelling wedges, Socotra Eddy (SE), Ras al Hadd Jet (RHJ) and upwelling wedges off Oman, West Indian Coast Current (WICC), Laccadive High and Low (LH and LL), East Indian Coast Current (EICC), Southwest and Northeast Monsoon Current (SMC and NMC), South Java Current (JC) and Leeuwin Current (LC). From Schott and McCreary, 2001, Progress In OceanographyVolume 51, Issue 1 , Pages 1-123

  14. Northeast (Winter) Monsoon Currents From Schott and McCreary, 2001, Progress In OceanographyVolume 51, Issue 1 , Pages 1-123

  15. Mean velocity sections across Indian Ocean western boundary currents for a) Northeast Madagascar Current at Cape Amber (westward is positive); b) Southeast Madagascar Current at 23°S (southward is positive), both from Swallow et al. (1988); and c) Somali Current on the equator (northward is positive) during the summer monsoon (left), during the winter monsoon (middle) and annual mean (right; from Schott et al., 1990)
