Description:The Indonesian Through flow (ITF) surface layer dynamics within the Makassar Strait, responsible for ~77% of the ITF, are investigated using in situ and satellite ‐derived observations from January 2004 to August 2011 and August 2013 to December 2016. Surface layer southward transport attainsits minima during boreal winter in response to atmospheric and oceanic processes attributed to Australian ‐Indonesian monsoon as well as the Madden ‐Julian Oscillation (MJO). While the monsoon's impact on seasonal variability of the ITF transport has been well documented, the MJO's role to modulatethe variability of the ITF transport is less studied. Eleven MJO events traversed from Indian Ocean to Western Paci fic during boreal winter months over the course of the Makassar Strait time series. Intensi fied along ‐strait wind stress, reduced outgoing longwave radiation, increased sea surface height in the
