Opposite Variability of Indonesian Throughflow and South China Sea Throughflow in the Sulawesi Sea
AbstractBased on a high-resolution (0.1° × 0.1°) regional ocean model covering the entire northern Pacific, this study investigated the seasonal and interannual variability of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) and the South China Sea Throughflow (SCSTF) as well as their interactions in the Sulawesi Sea.

On the Indonesian Throughflow in the OCCAM 1/4 degree ocean model [PDF]
The Indonesian Throughflow is analysed in two runs of the OCCAM 1/4 degree global ocean model, one using monthly climatological winds and one using ECMWF analysed six-hourly winds for the period 1993 to 1998.

Abstract Subtropical western boundary currents (WBCs) are major conduits of ocean heat and momentum, playing a fundamental role in Earth's climate. Satellite observations reveal complex zonal movements and a pronounced meridional asymmetry in WBC shifts, yet lack a unifying explanation. Here, using quasi‐geostrophic theory and numerical experiments, we

Indonesian Throughflow drove Australian climate from humid Pliocene to arid Pleistocene
Late Miocene to mid‐Pleistocene sedimentary proxy records reveal that northwest Australia underwent an abrupt transition from dry to humid climate conditions at 5.5 million years (Ma), likely receiving year‐round rainfall, but after ~3.3 Ma, climate ...

Abstract In forced ocean general circulation models (OGCMs), regional sea‐level interannual variability arises from internal ocean dynamics and external forcings, among which freshwater fluxes from Greenland and rivers are typically prescribed as a seasonal climatology rather than with their full variability.

Transformation of South Pacific Water Masses in the Halmahera Sea [PDF]
The Halmahera Sea is part of the eastern entry route of the Indonesian throughflow (ITF) passages. The characteristics and transformation of the South Pacific water masses are presented based on the HYCOM model (Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model) and direct ...

Barcoding‐Inferred Biodiversity of Shallow‐Water Indo‐Pacific Demosponges
ABSTRACT Aim The Indo‐Pacific is the world's largest marine biogeographic region. It is characterised by different degrees of connectivity among its subregions and harbours the majority of demosponge species currently known to science. Comparisons between regional sponge faunas have been undertaken in the past, mostly based on morphological species ...

Effects of the Indonesian Throughflow on the Pacific and Indian Oceans
Abstract Effects of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) on the circulation and thermal structure of the Pacific and Indian Oceans are studied by comparing solutions of a near-global ocean general circulation model with open and closed Indonesian passages from 1981 to 1997.

Analysis of internal wave in the Buru Island coastal waters, Banda Sea, Indonesia
The Indonesian throughflow (ITF) in the eastern part of Indonesia passes through the Maluku, Taliabu, Sula, and Buru Islands to the Banda Sea. The average depth of the Buru and Sula Islands is between 1000 m and 5000 m, with a narrow gap (sill) located ...

Detecting Change in the Indonesian Seas
The Indonesian seas play a fundamental role in the coupled ocean and climate system with the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) providing the only tropical pathway connecting the global oceans.
