Resumen: Meridional velocity, mass, and heat transport in the equatorial oceans are difficult to estimatebecause of the nonapplicability of the geostrophic balance. For this purpose a steady-state model is utilized in the equatorial Indian Ocean using NCEP wind stress and temperature and salinity data fromthe World Ocean Atlas 2005 (WOA05) and Argo. The results show a Somali Current flowing to the south during the winter monsoon carrying -11.5 ± 1.3 Sv (1 Sv [106 m3 s-1) and -12.3 ± 0.3 Sv from WOA05 and Argo, respectively. In the summer monsoon the SomaliCurrent reverses to the north transporting 16.8 ± 1.2 Sv and 19.8 ± 0.6 Sv in the WOA05and Argo results. Transitional periods are considered together and in consequence, there is not a clear Somali Current present in this period. Model results fitwith in situ measurements made around the region, although Argo data results are quite more realisticthan WOA05 data results. © 2012 American Meteorological Society.
