<P> During the summer when the current flows toward the northeast , Ekman transport ( to the right of the flow in the Northern Hemisphere ) is offshore , transporting warmer waters deeper into the Arabian sea , and permitting upwelling of cooler waters along the coast . This sea surface temperature pattern ( cooler waters west of warmer waters ) reinforces the northward current through geostrophic flow . The Southwest Monsoon Current is eastward from April through November , and reaches a peak intensity of 30 cm s during the summer months . During a 1995 field campaign , the Somali current was measured to transport 37 + / - 5 Sv during mid-September . </P>
