Climatic and Oceanic Conditions around Santo
The Pacific Ocean is the largest of the oceans. It is divided by an interoceanic ridge system close to its eastern boundary, producing sub-basins in the central and western Pacific Ocean similar in size to the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. In the southwest Pacific, New Zealand and the various Melanesian Islands and Archipelagos provide natural boundaries for the adjacent Tasman and Coral Seas. The Vanuatu archipelago, including Santo, marks the main entrance of the Coral Sea that is bounded, respectively, northward and southward by the Solomon Sea and the New Caledonia basin. Over such a vast area, the climate of the region is mainly controlled by its oceanic context and by large-scale atmospheric circulation features.
