The Indonesian Throughflow (ITF; Indonesian: Arus Lintas Indonesia) is an ocean current with importance for global climate as is the low-latitude movement of warm, relative freshwater from the north Pacific to the Indian Ocean. It thus serves as a main upper branch of the global heat/salt conveyor belt.
For the Mindanao Current in particular, numerous simulations have agreed that the current will decrease in strength. It is projected to decrease by a magnitude of along with the Indonesian Throughflow which it supplies. Although the total transport will probably weaken, most of the weakening is subsurface and it will intensify above 100 m south ...
LLWBCs in Pacific: NGCUC = New Guinea Coastal Undercurrent, MC = Mindanao Current, GPC = Gulf of Papua Current. Others currents and eddies: ME = Mindanao Eddy, HE = Halmahera Eddy, NEC = North Equatorial Current, SEC = South Equatorial Current, ITF = Indonesian Throughflow, EAC = East Australian Current. Based on plots from Sen Gupta et al. [1]
Janet Sprintall at sea. Janet Sprintall is an Australian-born oceanographer at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.She specializes in inter-basin exchanges, and in particular in the Indonesian throughflow [1] and dynamics of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current through the Drake passage.
The largest ocean current is the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC), a wind-driven current which flows clockwise uninterrupted around Antarctica. The ACC connects all the ocean basins together, and also provides a link between the atmosphere and the deep ocean due to the way water upwells and downwells on either side of it.
The Timor Current is an oceanic current that runs south-west in the Timor Sea between the Malay Archipelago and Australia. It is a major contributor to the Indonesian Throughflow that transports water from the Pacific Ocean to the Indian Ocean.

Indonesia as an archipelago, is responsible for maintaining security in the international shipping routes of the Archipelagic Sea Lanes (ASL), as stated by the 1982 United Nations Convention on Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). [14] Due to the maritime issues experienced along the Lombok Strait, there is a need for Indonesia to establish management ...
