Indian Ocean is different from other basins – bounded by Asian land mass to the north- leads to seasonal monsoon climate-Indian peninsula densely populated(see http://www.crseo.ucsb.edu/esrg/IOM2/Start2_IOM.html)

A schematic representation of identified current branches during the Southwest Monsoon, including some choke point transport numbers (Sv=106m3s−1). Current branches indicated are the South Equatorial Current (SEC), South Equatorial Countercurrent (SECC), Northeast and Southeast Madagascar Current (NEMC and SEMC), East African Coast Current (EACC), Somali Current (SC), Southern Gyre (SG) and Great Whirl (GW) and associated upwelling wedges, Socotra Eddy (SE), Ras al Hadd Jet (RHJ) and upwelling wedges off Oman, West Indian Coast Current (WICC), Laccadive High and Low (LH and LL), East Indian Coast Current (EICC), Southwest and Northeast Monsoon Current (SMC and NMC), South Java Current (JC) and Leeuwin Current (LC).

(1988); and c) Somali Current on the equator (northward is positive) during the summer monsoon (left), during the winter monsoon (middle) and annual mean (right; from Schott et al., 1990)
