Changes in the Indonesian Throughflow Since the Late Miocene Based on Radiolarian Assemblages From ODP Site 710 in the Western Tropical Indian Ocean: Implications of the Indo‐Pacific Gateway (Indonesian Seaway)

Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, Volume 41, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The Indo‐Pacific Gateway is a narrow tropical passage connecting the Pacific and Indian Oceans, and alterations in its topographic configuration can significantly influence the volume of water exchanged between the two oceans through the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF).

Influences of Meridional SST Gradient Biases on Subsurface Temperature in the Tropical Indian Ocean: Roles of SMOC and ITF

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 2, 28 January 2026.
Abstract The tropical Indian Ocean (IO) exhibits persistent biases in sea surface temperature (SST) climatology across Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 (CMIP6) models, particularly during boreal winter. These biases manifest as a meridional dipole with warm SSTs in northern tropics and cool SSTs in south.

Nd Isotope Response to Precipitation Variability in the Western Tropical Pacific Over the Last 30 kyr

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, Volume 27, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Dissolved neodymium (Nd) isotopes are key tracers for water mass mixing in the open ocean and for land‐ocean exchanges in marginal seas. Hydrogenous Nd isotope ratios (expressed as εNd) in cores north of the equator reflect values of the surrounding lithology and tend to vary in accordance with local rainfall records, indicating higher ...

Roles of the Indo-Pacific subsurface Kelvin waves and volume transport in prolonging the triple-dip 2020–2023 La Niña

Environmental Research Letters, 2023
The rare triple-dip 2020–2023 La Niña event has resulted in a series of extreme climate events across the globe. Here, we reveal the role of tropical Indo-Pacific oceanic interactions in driving the first triple-dip La Niña of the twenty-first century ...

Contribution of Pacific wind stress to multi-decadal variations in upper-ocean heat content and sea level in the tropical south Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2011
Reconstructions of the spatial pattern of recent multi-decadal sea level trends in the Indian Ocean (IO) indicate a zonally-extended band in the southern tropics where sea level has substantially fallen between the 1960s and 1990s; the decline is ...

Warming Trend in the Western Indian Ocean Driven by Oceanic Transport

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract The ocean has absorbed over 90% of the excess heat trapped in the Earth system due to rising greenhouse gas emissions, with upper layers playing a crucial role. This study finds that 35% of the total ocean heat content (OHC) in the western Indian Ocean is stored within the upper 300 m.

Suppressed Changes of the Makassar Strait Throughflow During the 2020–2023 “Triple‐Dip” La Niña by Indian Ocean Winds

Geophysical Research Letters
As a crucial component of global ocean circulation, the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is modulated by the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation. While multi‐year La Niña events often greatly enhance the volume transport of the ITF, the 2020–2023 La Niña caused ...

The Indonesian throughflow, its variability and centennial change

Geoscience Letters, 2018
The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) is an important component of the upper cell of the global overturning circulation that provides a low-latitude pathway for warm, fresh waters from the Pacific to enter the Indian Ocean.

Contributions of Indonesian Throughflow to eastern Indian Ocean surface variability during ENSO events

Atmospheric Science Letters, 2020
The contribution of ocean transport to the transition between the Indian Ocean Dipole mode (IOD) and the Indian Ocean Basin mode (IOB) during El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) years is investigated using reanalysis products. Composite analysis suggests
