Origins and pathways of the subsurface and intermediate water masses of the Indonesian Throughflow derived from historical and Argo data
On the basis of Argo data and historic temperature/salinity data from the World Ocean Database 2001 (WOD01 origins and spreading pathways of the subsurface and intermediate water masses in the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) region were discussed by analyzing distributions of salinity on representative...
