- •
We investigate the South Indian tropical gyre based on long-term observations.
- •
The tropical gyre and the SCTR shrink seasonally westward by 20° of longitude.
- •
The Indonesian Throughflow Front contributes to the seasonal shrinkage of the gyre.
- •
The Sverdrup circulation accounts for the westward migration of the SD during winter.
- •
The Chagos Dome is a well-defined feature at thermocline depths only during summer.
