Is Weipa in Queensland?
Yes. Weipa is in far North Queensland, on Cape York Peninsula. It is the largest town on the Western coast of the Cape, and overlooks the Gulf of Carpentaria.
How do increased temperatures affect the gulf stream?
Increased temperatures can weaken the Gulf Stream by melting ice in the Arctic, leading to more freshwater entering the North Atlantic. This can disrupt the ocean currents that drive the Gulf Stream, potentially causing it to slow down or change course. These changes can have far-reaching consequences on weather patterns and marine ecosystems.
How far is the gulf stream from North Carolina Coast?
Depends on where you are at. From Cape Hatteras, it's approximately 12-15 miles. Further south to Atlantic Beach and Morehead it's further approximately 30-40. It is an ocean current and fluctuate, so all distances are average.
Why is Northern and Western Europe's climate unusual for a region located in a latitude that is so far North?
It is warmer than equivalent latitudes. This is due to the Gulf Stream which brings warmer waters from the Gulf of Mexico towards western Europe.
How would the climate be affected if the gulf stream would reverse directions?
If the Gulf Stream reversed directions, it would carry cold water from the Arctic toward the equator, instead of warm water from the equator toward the Arctic. This would cool the air flowing over it instead of warming it. Because the wind around the Gulf Stream flows east, Europe would be far more dramatically cooled than North America, but both would cool a lot. Glaciers would build up, and an Ice Age would start.
How lightly is it for the oil in the gulf disaster to enter gulf stream?
It is unlikely, at least for the immediate future. When there are so many variables involved, it is very difficult to predict. Wind and gulf currents are important factors which do not remain constant. To enter the gulf stream, it must first enter the loop current. So far, the oil spill has not entered the loop current, at least in noticeable quantities. The longer oil stays in the gulf, the better as natural forces will degrade and disperse the oil. A forecast of the next two days movement is attached. Note the colors in the graphs are ocean surface temperatures.
