body of water in the Atlantic Ocean that flows from Mexico to Europe and influences the climate in the regions it passes through
The Gulf Stream, together with its northern extension towards 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.
