They are driven by both wind and thermohaline circulation interacting with each other. Wind moves the surface waters by friction, but away from the equator the Coriolis effect means this is ...

“The configuration of the device allows water to circulate in swirling eddies, in a manner similar to the much larger ‘thermohaline' circulation of the ocean,” the scientists said.

After exiting the Denmark Strait, the bottom half continues south along the seabed to the Antarctic, where it enters a global loop of ocean currents called the thermohaline circulation.
