Description:The Makassar Strait through flow of ~12 –13 Sv, representing ~77% of the total Indonesian Through flow, displays fluctuations over a broad range of time scales, from intraseasonal to seasonal (monsoonal) and interannual scales. We now have 13.3 years of Makassar through flow observations: November 1996 to early July 1998; January 2004 to August 2011; and August 2013 to August 2017. Strongsouthward transport is evident during boreal summer, modulated by an ENSO interannual signal, with weaker southward flow and a deeper subsurface velocity maximum during El Niño; stronger southward flow with a shallower velocity maximum during La Niña. Accordingly, the southward heat flux, a product of the along ‐channel current and temperature pro files, is signi ficantly larger in summer and slightly larger
