The Brazil-Malvinas Confluence (BMC) may have a southward shift in a long time trend and many marine factors’ change may cause this drift. We analysis this phenomenon from two aspects: the changes of currents’ volume transport, and the winds’ alternation. Using the monthly mean flow field between 1993 and 2016 to calculate the cross-sectional water transport volume, the results show that the transport change trend of the Malvinas Current (MC) is decreasing and the transport change trend of the Brazil Current (BC) is increasing. The trajectory of the Argo buoy during 2014–2016 indicates that the MC’s water mainly comes from one of the three polar fronts of ACC (Antarctic Circumpolar Current) when passing through the Drake Passage: SAF (the Subantactic Front). Calculating and analyzing the transport of SAF, we find that the transport’s trend of SAF is lessened, which is an important reason caused the reduce of MC’s transport. We also find that the PF’s transport on the south SAF has incremental trend. Based on the monthly mean wind field data during year 1993–2016, we find that the prevailing westerly wind stress in the Southern Hemisphere is growing and moves toward to Antarctic which will make ACC contract to Antarctica. So we can explain that the transport of SAF reduces while the transport of PF increases. Therefore, it is found that the southward movement of the prevailing westerly winds in the Southern Hemisphere and the increase of BC transport are the reasons for the southward drift of BMC.
