摘要

The Indonesian throughflow (ITF) is the flow of warm, relatively fresh waters into the southeast Indian Ocean from the western Pacific Ocean via the series of passages between the islands of the Indonesian archipelago and Australia (see Figure 1 in Gordon, this issue). As the world's only low-latitude interocean conduit, the ITF plays an integral role in the global thermohaline circulation and directly impacts the basin heat and freshwater budgets of both the Pacific and Indian Oceans (Bryden and Im-awaki, 2001). We presently view the ITF as a low-frequency geostrophic flow combined with a surface wind-driven current (e.g., Meyers, 1996; Potemra et al, 1997). The large-scale steric height gradient between the easterly tradewinds in the western Pacific and the reversing monsoonal winds over the southern Indonesian seas drives the ITF's variable annual cycle (Wyrtki, 1987). During the northwest monsoon from November to March, the winds are to the southeast. The resulting Ekman flow causes warm waters to accumulate in the Banda Sea (Figure la), reducing ITF transport. The flow from the Banda Sea towards the Indian Ocean is strongest during the southeast monsoon from July to September when the winds are to the northwest and more intense, and the surface waters are cooler (Figure 1b). These strong winds result in a lower sea level along the south coast of the Nusa Tenggara island chain; the ITF is thought to be enhanced by this local Ekman response.
