In simple terms, the Pacific Ocean is a couple of feet higher than the Indian Ocean.
So huge is the volume of water associated with the Indo Throughflow ( ITF ) that traditional measurements such as cubic meters & gallons are inadequate to describe it in an easily understandable way, so the Norwegian scientist Harald Sverdrup invented the Sverdrup one million cubic meters of water per second.
It is estimated that the total amount of seawater that passes through the Indonesian Throughflow is 15,000 - 20,000 Rivers.
There are a limited number of channels between the islands of the Lesser Sundas and the main ones that carry the majority of the water flow are the Lombok Strait between Bali & Lombok, the Sape Strait between Sumbawa & Komodo and the Ombai Strait between Alor & Timor.
Current = Action & Marine Life on Steroids!
The ITF means unpredictable currents.
