FIGURE S11.02aSurface circulation: (a) Southwest Monsoon (July–August) and (b) Northeast Monsoon (January–February). Most current names are in Table S11.2. Red numbers are transports (Sv) taken from Schott and McCreary (2001). Source: Modified from Schott, Dengler, and Schoenefeldt (2002).

FIGURE S11.03aAnnual mean winds. Data from the NCEP reanalysis (Kalnay et al.,1996). (a) Wind stress (N/m2) (vectors) and wind-stress curl (×10−7 N/m3) (color), multiplied by −1 in the Southern Hemisphere. (b) Sverdrup transport (Sv), where blue is clockwise and yellow-red is counterclockwise circulation. See also Figures 5.16 and 5.17.

(b) Sverdrup transport (Sv), where blue is clockwise and yellow-red is counterclockwise circulation. See also Figures 5.16 and 5.17.
FIGURE S11.04Monthly mean wind stress (N/m2) from NCEP climatology. (a) January: Southwest Monsoon. (b) April: transitions. (c) July: Northeast Monsoon. (d) October: transitions. Monthly mean surface temperature (°C) from Levitus and Boyer (1994) is shown in color. Source: From Schott, Dengler, and Schoenefeldt (2002). See also Figure 5.16.
