	Gulf Stream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Gulf Stream is orange and yellow in this representation of water temperatures of the Atlantic.
		The Gulf Stream, together with its northern extension, 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.
		The Gulf Stream influences the climate of the east coast of North America from Florida to Newfoundland, and the west coast of Europe.

	Gulf Stream
		The Gulf Stream is a warm surface ocean current which originates in the Gulf of Mexico and flows northeast across the Atlantic, driven by the prevailing southwest winds.
		Sometimes, the term "Gulf Stream" is restricted to describe the ocean current that travels past the east coast of the United States towards Newfoundland.
		This slowed and diverted the course of the Gulf Stream to such as extent that the regional climate of the Northeast Atlantic became considerably cooler.

	BBC - Weather Centre - Climate Change - Gulf Stream
		Ocean currents flow in complex patterns and are affected by the wind, the water's salinity and temperature, the shape of the ocean floor, and the earth's rotation.
		The gulf stream brings warmth to the UK and north-west Europe and is the reason we have mild winters.
		Current climate models predict that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to increase, the component of the gulf stream driven by the differences in water density is likely to decrease by 25% in the next 100 years.

	The Gulf Stream
		The Gulf Stream is bigger than the combined flow of the Mississippi, the Nile, the Congo, the Amazon, the Volga, the Yangtze and many other major rivers of the world.
		Perhaps the discovery and naming of the Gulf Stream is a moot question, but to cartography it becomes important in tracing history, particularly in the Age of Exploration and Discovery of the New World.
		From the available records, the title "Gulf Stream" was first used to identify the flowing waters off the southeast coast of Florida in 1768 or 1769 by William Gerand De Brahm, while in the employ of the British Government.

	The Gulf Stream
		Recent studies suggest that the recirculations steadily increase the transport in the Gulf Stream from 30 Sv in the Florida Current to a maximum of 150 Sv at 55°W (Hendry 1982; Hogg 1992; Hogg and Johns 1995).
		The mechanism Worthington proposed was extensive convection south of the Gulf Stream in winter due to the atmospheric cooling of surface waters.

	History Of the Gulfstream
		The Gulf of Mexico is its fountain and its mouth is in the Arctic Seas.
		Franklin postulated that, "This Stream is probably generated by the accumulation of water on the eastern coast of America between the tropics, by the trade winds that constantly blow there.
		The Gulf Stream was probably the vehicle that carried the strange woods and fruits found on the shores of Europe long before Columbus sailed.

	Gulf Stream Path
		The Gulf Stream, located along the eastern coast of the United States, is a fast, intense current known as a western-boundary current.
		The transport of the Gulf Stream increases to 85 Sv near Cape Hatteras, peaks at 150 Sv near 65°W, then decreases eastward of 65°W. One of the primary reasons that the Gulf Stream increases in transport between Florida and 65°W and decreases in transport downstream of 65°W is the Recirculation Gyre.
		This water is recirculated clockwise throughout the Sargasso and eventually re-enters the Gulf Stream.

		The main Gulf Stream current continues north, veers to the east, passes close to the Grand Banks, south of Newfoundland, where it branches, says McCartney, into two currents: the North Atlantic and the Azores Currents.

	Gulf Stream
		The Gulf Stream originates in the Gulf of Mexico and, as the Florida Current, passes through the Straits of Florida and along the coast of SE United States with a breadth of c.50 mi (80 km).
		Parts of the Gulf Stream current are diverted SE, forming the Canary Currents, which carry cooler waters to the Iberian peninsula and NW Africa.
		At the beginning of the Gulf Stream the water temperature is 80°F (27°C); the temperature decreases as the current moves north.

	CNN.com - Changes in Gulf Stream could chill Europe - May 10, 2005
		The Gulf Stream is a pattern of warm water extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the British Isles.
		Scientists now have evidence that changes are occurring in the Gulf Stream, the warm and powerful ocean current that tempers the western European climate.
		Without the influence of the Gulf Stream and its two northern branches, the North Atlantic Drift and the Canary Current, the weather in Britain could be more like that of Siberia, which shares the same latitude.

		The north wall of the Gulf Stream reveals very complex structure associated with frontal instabilities that lead to exchanges between the Gulf Stream and inshore waters.

		This current is called the Gulf Stream; it moves north along the coast of Florida and then turns eastward off of North Carolina flowing to the north-east across the Atlantic.
		A meander is charecterised by its wavelength (the distance along the stream from one wave crest to the next), and its amplitude (the distance perpendicular to the stream between the wave crest and trough).
		Since the Gulf Stream is such a strong current, it affects the speed of a boat; therefore, many people sailing in the North Atlantic also want to know where the current is and can use these images to find out.

	RealClimate » Gulf Stream slowdown? Est-ce que le Gulf Stream ralentit ?
		This heat transport is often associated with the Gulf Stream in the media and among the public.
		However, my pedantic side obliges me to point out that the Gulf Stream is a predominantly wind-driven western boundary current that moves up from the Gulf of Mexico along the US coast to Cape Hatteras, at which point it heads off into the central Atlantic (see also this letter by Carl Wunsch).
		For the inflow, the Gulf stream heat content seems to be related to the NAO, which was strongly positive in the last decades, until recently.
