Comment: After publication of Gunn et al. (2020), an error in the rotation of the ADCP data at moorings C and D was identified. This error resulted in the publication of incorrect values for the time-mean volume and salt transports, transport-weighted salinity, and leakage. Critically, this error has no effect on the variability of the velocity and salinity fields, from which the key conclusions of Gunn et al. (2020) are drawn. There are four corrections to the text. First, the time-mean jet volume transport is −87 Sv, and the time-mean box volume transport is −86 Sv. Corrections are to sentences in the abstract, section 3d, section 4, and the appendix. Second, the time-mean salt transport is −3050 Sv psu (corrections are to the abstract, section 3d, and section 4). Third, the time-mean transport-weighted salinity is 35.04, and its range is 34.80–35.52 psu. Fourth, the corrected leakage estimate is that 24 Sv of Indian Ocean water leaks into the Atlantic Ocean, which corresponds to 9 × 1013 kg yr−1 of salt on average. Leakage and transport-weighted salinity corrections are made to section 3d only. These corrections have no impact on the main result of this study, which is that salinity variability is driven by both shifting (i.e., changes in location) and pulsing (i.e., changes in strength) of the current. Corrected versions of Table 1 and Figs. 6–8 are included in this corrigendum. Note that for Figs. 6 and 7 the only change is the box volume transport time series (Tυb; red line in Figs. 6c and 7b, respectively). We apologize for any inconvenience this error may have caused.
