What are the different directions of the surface currents in the Arabian Sea when the earth revolves to perihelion and apohelion?

There are two concepts in this topic. First, the perihelion of the earth appears at the beginning of 1 every year, around the slight cold solar term; The apohelion appeared in early July, about 10 days later than the summer solstice.

Second, the northern Indian Ocean north of the equator, including the Arabian Sea, is a monsoon current because it is located south of the Tropic of Cancer. In winter, the northeast monsoon blows, the surface seawater flows westward, and the ocean current flows counterclockwise; In summer, the southwest monsoon blows, the surface seawater flows eastward and the ocean current flows clockwise.

Therefore, when the earth revolves to perihelion, the surface water in the Arabian Sea flows westward and the ocean current flows counterclockwise. When the earth revolves to the perihelion, the surface water in the Arabian Sea flows eastward and the ocean current flows clockwise.

This is why Zheng He always chose to pass through the North Indian Ocean in winter and return in summer when he went to the Western Ocean in the Ming Dynasty.

I hope it helps you!
