		The Puerto Rico Trench, in the North Atlantic, is the deepest.
		Due to the Coriolis effect, water in the North Atlantic circulates in a clockwise direction, whereas water circulation in the South Atlantic is counter clockwise.

	Animal Info - North Atlantic Right Whale
		The North Atlantic right whale occurs in the Atlantic Ocean: during the summer from Davis Strait, Denmark Strait, and the Norwegian Sea south to Massachusetts and the Bay of Biscay; during the winter it ranges south to Florida and the Golfo de Cintra (23°N), Western Sahara.
		In addition, because the North Atlantic right whale is dependent on coastal habitat, it may be more vulnerable to impacts from human activity, such as pollution, than many other cetaceans.
		The North Atlantic right whale is usually found in temperate waters, although some move just north of the Arctic Circle or just south of the Tropic of Cancer.

	The North Atlantic Drift Current
		The N. Atlantic drift is the broad, northward flow of surface waters that replaces the sinking waters in the N. Atlantic polar seas.
		Because of the rapid advection of the North Atlantic gyre, the temperature of the surface waters of the NADC almost always exceeds that of both surrounding waters and the overlying atmosphere (Rossby, 1996).
		According to Krauss and Käse (1984), the North Atlantic Current, and not interference with the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, is the main source of eddy energy in the North Atlantic.

		The Norse in the North Atlantic: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
		The Norse expansion into the North Atlantic occurred between 800 and 1000 CE, and may have been caused by a combination of population pressures and political unrest in the Norse homeland.
		European discovery of North America, including Newfoundland, in the sense of being aware that this was an new world to them, and a new opportunity, would have to wait until the era of John Cabot.

	Tiempo Climate Cyberlibrary, Floor 2, Data, North Atlantic Oscillation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The North Atlantic Oscillation is a major disturbance of the atmospheric circulation and climate of the North Atlantic-European region, linked to a waxing and waning of the dominant middle-latitude westerly wind flow during winter.
		The North Atlantic Oscillation Index is based on the pressure difference between various stations to the north (Iceland) and south (Azores) of the middle latitude westerly flow.
		When the North Atlantic Oscillation Index is positive, the westerly flow across the North Atlantic and western Europe is enhanced, along with the Iceland Low and the Azores High.

	Statistics of North Atlantic Oscillation Decadal Variability
		The statistical significance of the lag-correlation and spectrum of a timeseries of the wintertime strength of the North Atlantic Oscillation is examined.
		The decadal variability of North Atlantic climate is currently a prominent topic of research, and dominated the discussion at the recent Atlantic Climate Change Program meeting at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in late September 1997.
		The wintertime NAO index shows definite one-year lag-correlation, suggesting the atmosphere of the North Atlantic is in communication with a system posessing interannual memory (most likely the ocean.) However, spectral analysis of the timeseries shows it is consistent with a simple autoregressive AR(1) process.

	NRDC: North Atlantic Swordfish
		In 1997, the North Atlantic swordfish was on its way to being wiped out, the victim of years of overfishing and mismanagement.
		But a 30-month campaign by NRDC and SeaWeb brought new fishing restrictions, and after just a few years under the new regime, North Atlantic swordfish populations have recovered to 94 percent of levels considered healthy.
		In the end, the recovery of the North Atlantic swordfish population is more than just a tale about the protection of a single species.

	R-in-NATO, 4th gen.
		The generations of the Atlantic idea emerged well in advance of the generations of actual alliance: the causal sequence was clear, the idea was prior to the reality.
		The Atlantic democracies, he concluded, were for better or worse the leading powers of the world -- better when they were united, because then they led the world toward unity; worse when they were divided, because then they led the world toward chaos.
		Official Atlanticism spoke of the merits of the Atlantic Community and of incremental improvements in it; it expressed Atlanticist themes in the form of a celebration of the status quo and a rebuke of all the critics of the alliance, rather than a program for transformation.

		The subject of the medieval Norse in North America, however, was largely played up in the press, where any discovery or claim of discovery roused keen public enthusiasm.
		For the next four centuries ships from Greenland, Iceland and northern Europe crossed and recrossed the North Atlantic, bringing immigrants, taking people on visits to the Old Country, and especially carrying the trade in ivory and furs on which Greenland colonies depended for a livelihood.
		Thus, the Norse hunters had to travel 400 kilometres north of the settlements to the area known as the Nordsetur, the northern hunting grounds.

		The overall objectives of Enam II were to quantify and model large-scale sedimentary processes and material fluxes on the continental shelf edge of the European North Atlantic Margin contributing to mass wasting events and the development of deep sea fans.
		The timing, causes and flow behaviour of mass wasting events and the relationship between mass wasting events and deep-sea fan developments were determined in order to understand the spatial and temporal variability of marine systems from the shelf edge to the continental slope and the deep sea.
