[edit] Molucca Strait(s), not Malacca Strait(s)?

I understand Malacca Strait(s) is another net Pacific-to-Indian 'flow', but if you do mean it, I think you'd at least have to account for it being an Indian-to-Pacific flow into the Indonesian seas. I raise these questions and am hesitant to just make the change as you otherwise know more about oceanography than I do, but from the gist of the article, and location of the Molucca Straits adjacent to the Makassar Strait, I think it is just a simple labelling error, and you meant the Molucca Strait(s?). (I'm having trouble keeping them 'strait' just writing this :-).

I'd also like to to at least link this article to the 'mediterranean sea (oceanography)' wikipage which describes mediterranean seas in general and lists the Australasian Mediterranean Sea, encompassing the Indonesian Seas (basin). Better yet, provide a wiki article for 'Australasian Mediterranean Sea', although I don't know how completely established this is an oceanographic concept.What do you think?

Didn't know myself what the 'Timor Passage' was (had to look it up elsewhere on the internet). Would add 'between island of Timor and west coast of Australia' or something like that. Would like to hear from author of this wiki-article first.Jauntymcd 12:28, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
