The Indian Ocean is unique among the world's oceans because its current system is strongly influenced by the seasonal reversal of the monsoon winds. Unlike the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, where major currents remain relatively stable throughout the year, the currents in the Indian Ocean undergo significant seasonal changes. These currents play an important role in regulating coastal weather, marine ecosystems, navigation, fisheries, and regional climate. The surface currents of the Indian Ocean are primarily controlled by the southwest monsoon during summer (June to September) and the northeast monsoon during winter (December to February). The major currents include the South Equatorial Current, North Equatorial Current, Equatorial Counter Current, Somali Current, Monsoon Current, West Australian Current, Mozambique Current, and Agulhas Current. The South Equatorial Current is a permanent warm current that flows from east to west between about 10°S and 20°S. It is driven by the southeast trade winds and transports warm tropical water towards the eastern coast of Africa. Upon reaching Madagascar, it divides into two branches. One branch flows northward into the Mozambique Channel as the Mozambique Current, while the other flows southward along the east coast of Madagascar. The Mozambique Current flows through the Mozambique Channel and joins
