Somali Jet information


The Somali Jet, also known as the Findlater Jet, is a cross-equatorial wind system which forms off the eastern coast of Africa in the Indian Ocean. It is recognised as an important component of the Indian Monsoon[1] and is a factor in the relatively low rainfall in East Africa. It contributes to the existence of the Somali Current - the only major upwelling system that occurs on a western boundary of an ocean.[citation needed]
