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
