Fig. S1. Schematic of the Indian Ocean Observing System (IndOOS). Green squares indicate the locations of RAMA moorings, with 22 of 46 planned sites occupied as of 30 November 2008. Argo floats and surface drifters are indicated by a single symbol, although many floats and drifters are spread throughout the basin (117 drifters and 414 Argo floats as of 30 November 2008). Expendable bathythermograph (XBT) and expendable conductivity/temperature/depth (XCTD) sections sampled by ships of opportunity are shown as black lines. Most of these lines are sampled 12–18 times per year at along-track intervals of approximately 1° (though the Australia-Sumatra line and the Australia-Mauritius-South Africa line are sampled more frequently to measure details of ocean circulation). Tide gauges are indicated by blue dots. Nationally sponsored regional observing systems and process studies are also embedded in IndOOS. The satellite in the upper right symbolizes the constellation of Earth-observing satellites for SST, surface winds, sea level, and other important oceanic and atmospheric parameters.
