		Thus the Indian Ocean doesn't have the currents to transport and discharge heat to higher latitudes, as the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio do in the Atlantic and Pacific, respectively.
		This is the western boundary current for the northern Indian Ocean, the analogue to the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic, and Kuroshio in the Pacific.
		Clearly, the surface temperature of the land and ocean is a parameter of utmost importance.
