From Bialik et al. (2020) (https://doi.org/10.1029/2019PA003762): map of the Indian Ocean showing the prevailing atmospheric wind (Gadgil et al., 2018; Xue et al., 2004) and oceanographic current (Schott et al., 2009) conditions during Northern Hemisphere summer (JJA). Note the southwesterly Somali/Findlater jet (FJ) along the Horn of Africa. Major Indian Ocean surface currents shown are Indonesian Throughflow (ITF), Leeuwin Current (LC), South Equatorial Current (SEC), East Gyral Current (EGC), Equatorial Counter Current (ECC), South Java Current (SJC), Agulhas Current (AC), Mozambique Current (MC), Northeast and Southeast Madagascar Current (NEMC and SEMC), Southwest Monsoon Current (SMC), Southern Gyre (SG), and Great Whirl (GW) and associated upwelling wedges (green). The present‐day oxygen minimum zone in the northern Indian ocean is indicated as purple shaded area denoting oxygen concentrations <20 μmol/kg in 200‐m water depth (Garcia et al., 2018; McCreary et al., 2013).
