Popis: This study aims to investigate a depth-latitude spatial and temporal variability of ITF front at 115°E, using 15-years (2004–2018) of monthly gridded CTD Argo float dataset in the Indo–Australia Basin. The Empirical Orthogonal Function method was performed to analysis these time-series data. It is shown that mean meridional extent of ITF front is established between 14°S and 10°S. The ITF front can be described by the first five modes of potential temperature and salinity EOF’s, which accounted for 88.6% and 80.7% of the total variance, respectively. The first EOF mode (67.9%) of depth-latitude temperature reveals spatial pattern which is out-of-phase between near-surface layer (
