[1] We present the first direct evidence that interannual changes in ocean transport through Drake Passage are forced by variability in the Southern Annular Mode (SAM). This evidence is derived from two decades (1980s and 1990s) of subsurface pressure measurements from the tide gauge at Faraday stat...
