%X Observations of currents, transport, sea level, and sea level slope in Lombok Strait and west Flores in 1985 and 1986 have been compared to a simulation of the NORDA global ocean model in the indonesian throughflow region. Despite the relatively coarse grid scale of the model compared to topographic lengh scales in the region, the model appears to be realistically reproducing many of the observed features. The predicted transport through the Lombok Strait, for example, agrees with detailed observations of phase and magnitude, especially when corrected for grid size limitations. The sea surface fluctuations and sea surface slopes predicted by the model agree within less than a factor of 1.5. with sea level changes and slopes observed on tide gauges. There do appear to be several cases of phase difference of several months between model and observations that require further investigation. (Résumé d'auteur)
