The Indian Ocean is bounded in the north by the Asian landmass at much lower latitudes. Presence of this massive landmass in the north deprives the Indian Ocean of the deep convection centres of the northern hemisphere, thus affecting the renewal and circulation of its deep waters. Consequently,the deep circulation in the northern Indian Ocean depends largely on advection of waters from the south.
