A current in the Atlantic Ocean that brings water from the equator to the Artic Circle. It flows out of the Gulf of Mexico (hence its name), follows the east coast of the US, then turns northeast across the North Atlantic. It forms the North Atlantic Drift north of the Azores and continues to Europe.

∙ 14y agoThe 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.
