The Gulf Stream draws ships into her path, where Bermuda's shallow reef effortlessly devours them.
Beneath the gush of his eloquent vocabulary incessantly burbled a subterranean effluence of inexhaustible mirth, a Gulf Stream of self-satisfied glee.
For Mr. Chapoutier, climate change will see an increase in rainfall, which in turn could dilute and divert the Gulf Stream.
While others in the fleet positioned themselves too far south or too far north, Toshiba caught the benefit of the Gulf Stream.
Instead of following the northward Gulf Stream they headed further out to sea and went into Chesapeake Bay on a northwest tack.
The Gulf Stream has not shut down, hurricanes are not becoming more frequent, the North Pole is not ice-free, etc.
Despite being over the warm waters of the Gulf Stream, Alberto is not expected to intensify much over the next couple of days.
Thus the Gulf Stream, and hence the wind, rather than being minor features of oceanic climate are best regarded as the primary elements.

The young eels, called glass eels when they are at sea, are then carried by the Gulf Stream and reach river systems across Europe.
There are theories suggesting that the AMO index is in turn driven by fluctuations in the north Atlantic current commonly called the Gulf Stream.
Dr Marsden reckons the technique might even improve understanding of how water from melting ice caps will affect ocean currents, including the Gulf Stream.
When it comes to the most extreme weather on the continent, look north or south of the Gulf Stream, or within close proximity to Africa.
More importantly, some scientists are concerned that the flow of desalinated water into the sea could disrupt the Gulf Stream, which could change weather patterns.

In the spring they swim north from the Gulf of Mexico along the Gulf Stream, about 60 miles offshore, to the nutrient-rich waters of the Northeast and Canada.
From California to the Gulf Stream waters, voters will weigh in on whether to raise (or lower) state taxes through ballot measures on Election Day.

Chances of survival for Solero looked grim after he was blown off course in the Gulf Stream and ended up in a tidal pool at Beaumaris, Anglesey.
Actually, what's commonly known as the Gulf Stream is just part of a wider phenomenon know as Thermohaline, responsible for transporting heat to Europe through the Atlantic Ocean.
Mr. CHARLTON HESTON (actor, Reading): He was an old man who fished alone in a skiff in the Gulf stream and he'd gone eighty-four days now without taking a fish.
The oil trajectory that actually occurs will depend critically both on the short-term evolution of the Loop Current, which feeds into the Gulf Stream, and on the state of the overlying atmosphere.

The author of that work, Glen MacDonald of UCLA, has noted that the only way to get that region so warm is with a massive influx of Gulf Stream water from the Atlantic.

Lisbon, Portugal, which is located in the path of the Gulf Stream, averages the most daily hours of sunlight year-round thanks to its dry air and stable climate (much like southern California in the U.S.).
We can suspect, for example, that the UK might suffer due to shutting down the Gulf Stream, but there would be thousands of other changes caused by the change in temperature, salinity, and acidity levels.
FORBES: What Would Be The Best Place To Live If The Polar Ice Caps Melt?
If the sinking were stopped by adding fresh water (a deus ex machina often invoked to change the climate), the Gulf Stream would hardly care except in so far as the wind system changed too.
ECONOMIST: On climate change, Bretton Woods, the Pope's speech | The
The new research provides some support for this theory, as well as demonstrating that abrupt temperature changes can have a long-term impact on ocean currents which are, as the Gulf Stream demonstrates, intimately tied to weather systems.
BBC: NEWS | Science/Nature | Past gives clue to climate impact
The cause of this cold lurch was seemingly settled some time ago when Wallace Broecker, a Columbia University geochemist, suggested that a North American ice sheet collapsed, flooding the Atlantic with fresh water, which interrupted the normal circulation of the Gulf Stream.

The fish, drifting in the gyre, would grow as the current took them west toward the Yucatan, then north into the Gulf of Mexico and finally into the Gulf Stream where the fish could pass near Miami just as they are good-eatin' size.
If the sinking motion at high latitudes were completely stopped, by covering that part of the ocean by sea ice for instance, there would still be a Gulf Stream to the south, and maybe an even more powerful one as the wind field would probably then become stronger.
ECONOMIST: On climate change, Bretton Woods, the Pope's speech | The
That means more melting ice in the Arctic, dumping fresh water into the salty sea and making a mess of the all-important Gulf jet stream, which makes northern U.S. habitable.
