	Ocean current - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Surface ocean currents are generally wind driven and develop their typical clockwise spirals in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere due to the imposed wind stresses.
		The areas of surface ocean currents move somewhat with the seasons, this is most notable in equatorial currents.
		These currents that flow under the surface of the ocean, and are thus hidden from immediate detection, are called submarine rivers.

		A current measuring instrument employing the transmission of high frequency acoustic signals in the water.
		The current is determined by a Doppler shift in the backscatter echo from plankton, suspended sediment, and bubbles, all assumed to be moving with the mean speed of the water.
		Azimuth of a current is the direction toward which it is flowing, and is usually reckoned from the north point.

	Gulf Stream Path
		Because of the Earth's rotation, the poleward flow in the western Atlantic is constrained to a narrow current on the western boundary of the ocean basin.
		The current is commonly referred to as the Loop Current while it's in the Gulf of Mexico and the Florida Current when it leaves the Gulf between Florida and Cuba.
		Along the east coast of Florida the current is fed by the Antilles Current, and the flow, now called the Gulf Stream, runs parallel to the coast until reaching Cape Hatteras where it leaves the coast and enters deeper water.

		Part of the long-standing uncertainty about the existence of a mean ``Antilles'' Current off the Bahamas probably has to do with the structure of this flow; it is predominantly a thermocline rather than surface flow, and does not have a strong signature in surface dynamic topography maps.
		Within the context of the two-layer model, it is the weighted sum of the two layers that is made to recirculate but the balance for the lower layer is much more inertial.
		The North Brazil Current (NBC) is the major WBC in the equatorial Atlantic and both closes the anticyclonic wind-driven gyre straddling the equator and carries thermohaline flow northward across the equator.
