The Indian Ocean Specificities Mean (1999-2004) SST from Reynolds data Mean (1999-2004) Wind stress from QUIKSCAT data
Plan Our Intermediate Ocean Model Use of OST data toestimate the Indonesian ThroughFlow (ITF)transport Roleof the interannual IFT transport on the Indian ocean climate: preliminary results Perspectives

Use of OST data to validate our IOM Correlation between SL Interannual Anomalies of T/P data and our IOM (1993-1999) RMS difference between SL Interannual Anomalies of T/P data and our IOM (1993-1999) Interannual Variability of T/P data (1993-1999) Interannual Variability our IOM (1993-1999)
The Indonesian ThroughFlow (ITF) Transport We use the Ocean Surfiace Topography data from TOPEX/POSEIDON to estimate the ITF Transport from 1992-1998 We use the dynamic height from XBT data to estimate the ITF Transport from 1980-1992
Mean Sea Level reference for 1980-1996 from in situ data Variability of Sea Level over 1992-1996 from TOPEX/POSEIDON data The Indonesian ThroughFlow (ITF) Transport Step1: The variability of the XBT Dynamic height is corrected to fit OST data from T/P Step2: The climatological reference of the OST data are corrected to fit the XBT from 1980 to 1996
The Indonesian ThroughFlow (ITF) Transport Step1: The variability of the XBT Dynamic height is corrected to fit OST data from T/P Step2: The climatological reference of the OST data are corrected to fit the XBT from 1980 to 1996 Step3: The ITF transport is estimated by geostrophy, between Java and Australia, on a depth of the order of 400m
