        the Southern Ocean was investigated using Gravity Recovery and
        Climate Experiment (GRACE) data and a Pressure Coordinate Ocean
        Model (PCOM) based on mass conservation. By comparing OBP,
        steric sea level, and sea level, it is found that at high
        latitudes the OBP variability dominates the sea level
        variability at seasonal-to-decadal time scales. The diagnostic
        OBP based on barotropic vorticity equation has a good
        correlation with the observations, indicating that wind forcing
        plays an important role in the variability of the OBP in the
        Southern Ocean. The unique interannual patterns of OBP in the
        Southern Ocean are closely associated with El Ni{\~n}o-Southern
        Oscillation (ENSO) and Southern Annular Mode (SAM). Regression
        analysis indicates that ENSO and SAM influence the OBP through
        altering the Ekman transport driven by surface wind. The leading
        pattern of OBP from PCOM are very similar to observations.
        Sensitive experiments of PCOM show that surface wind forcing
        explains the observed OBP variability quite well, confirming the
        importance of wind forcing and related oceanic processes. In the
        eastern South Pacific, the averaged OBP shows a decrease
        (increase) trend before (after) 2011, reflecting the reverse
        trend in westerly wind. In the South Indo-Atlantic Ocean, the
        averaged OBP has a weak increase trend during
        2003{\textendash}2016.}",
