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.
Europe deflects the Gulf Stream current as it flows towards the continent from the Gulf of Mexico.
The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current that originates in the Gulf of Mexico and flows to the North Atlantic Ocean. It helps to regulate and warm the climate of regions it passes through.
The Gulf Stream flows from the Gulf of Mexico northward along the eastern coast of the United States before crossing the Atlantic Ocean towards western Europe. Its warm waters have a significant impact on the climate of both regions.
Cold-core rings are typically found between the Gulf Stream and the coast of the US. These rings are formed by the meandering and pinching off of colder water from the Gulf Stream, creating a distinct eddy of cooler water.
Franklin's map of the Gulf Stream was created in 1769 while he was serving as Deputy Postmaster General for British North America. Franklin's map was the first to accurately depict the Gulf Stream's location and course, leading to improved transatlantic travel times.
the gulf stream gets its warmth from the tropics
The Gulf Stream ring is formed when Gulf Stream meanders break off the Stream to create independent circulatory systems. Because of the formation of this ring, the warm tropical water from south of the Gulf Stream can be moved to north of the Gulf Stream.
Without the Gulf Stream, these regions would be colder than they are. How does tWithout the Gulf Stream, these regions would be colder than they are. How does the Gulf Stream keep these regions warm?he Gulf Stream keep these regions warm?
The Gulf Stream.It's called the North Atlantic current (continuation of the Gulf Stream)gulf stream also known as the north atlantic current
The Gulf Stream - painting - was created in 1899.
Gulf Stream Magazine was created in 1989.
gulf stream OR gulf of stream
Because if the Gulf Stream Stops, them Europe freezes!
because there is alot of warm water in the Gulf Stream.
