The meridian 90ยฐ east of Greenwich is a line of longitude that extends from the North Pole across the Arctic Ocean, Asia, the Indian Ocean, the Southern Ocean, and Antarctica to the South Pole. It is the border between two tropical cyclone basins: the Australian region and the Southwest Indian Ocean basin. The Ninety East Ridge is named after the meridian. The 90th meridian east forms a great circle with the 90th meridian west.
