	Indonesian throughflow -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-10)
		An important feature of the Indonesian Throughflow is that because the water in the western equatorial Pacific Ocean has a higher temperature and lower (The relative proportion of salt in a solution) salinity than the water in the Indian Ocean, the Throughflow transports large amounts of relatively warm and fresh to the Indian Ocean.
		When the Indonesian Throughflow through Lombok Strait and the Timor passage enters the Indian Ocean it is advected towards Africa within Indian South equatorial current.
		So the Indonesian Throughflow transports a significant amount of Pacific Ocean heat into the southwest Indian Ocean, which is 10,000 (A metric unit of length equal to 1000 meters (or 0.621371 miles)) km away from the Lombok Strait.

		My focus was on the tropical Indian Ocean: the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Indonesian Throughflow (red lines shown on the survey map).
		The Indonesian Throughflow is the transport of warm and fresh Pacific waters into the Indian Ocean via the Indonesian seas, and it has a major impact on the mass, heat, and freshwater budgets of the South Pacific and Indian Oceans.
		Our current view of the Throughflow is that it has 3 primary components: a shallow surface Ekman flow, an advection by nonlinear Throughflow eddies, and a mean geostrophic component.
