gulf stream

     

The Gulf Stream, together with its northern extension towars Europe, the North Atlantic Drift, is a powerful, warm, and swift Atlantic ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico, exits through the Strait of Florida, and follows the eastern coastlines of the United States and Newfoundland before crossing the Atlantic Ocean. At about 30°W, 40°N, it splits in two, with the northern stream crossing to northern Europe and the southern stream recirculating off West Africa. The Gulf Stream influences the climate of the east coast of North America from Florida to Newfoundland, and the west coast of Europe. It is part of the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre.

Trivia about gulf stream

  • Despite its name, this ocean current outdoes any river; at maximum flow off the Carolinas, its flow is 3,500 times the Mississippi's
  • Despite its northern latitude, Great Britain boasts a mild climate due to this warm ocean current
  • Blend the north & south equatorial currents, add a splash from west of Florida & you've got this "stream"
  • (Jimmy of the Clue Crew shows an animated map of the Atlantic on the monitor.) The fusion of the north and south equatorial currents along with water from the Gulf of Mexico form this warm current
