Dynamics and Transport of the Indonesian Throughflow

Abstract

The long term goal of this project is to identify the importance of the Indonesian throughflow to the global heat and freshwater balance. While the emphasis has been on climate related issues, the work is also intended to understand the dynamics of the exchange between the Pacific and Indian Oceans through the complex series of basins and straits that comprises the Indonesian archipelago.
