GULF STREAM

This article appears in Volume V12, Page 714 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GUI-HAN
GULF STREAM ,' the name properly applied to the stream current which issues from the Gulf of
Mexico
  and flows north-eastward, following the eastern
coast
  of North America, and separated from it by a narrow strip of cold water (the Cold
Wall
 ), to a point
east
  of the Grand Banks off
Newfoundland
 . The Gulf Stream is a narrow, deep current, and its velocity is estimated at about 8o m. a day.. It is joined by, and often indistinguishable from, a large
body
  of water which comes from outside the West Indies and follows the same course. The
term
  was formerly applied to the
drift
  current which carries the mixed waters of the Gulf Stream and the Labrador current eastwards across the Atlantic. This is now usually known as the " Gulf Stream
drift
 ," although the name is not altogether appropriate.
See ATLANTIC.
