Preferred term

gulf stream  

Definition(s)

  • The gulf stream is the ocean current that is active throughout the Atlantic Ocean and has kept northwestern Europe warmer than other lands of comparable latitude and has encouraged the development of civilization there. Changing global climatic conditions threaten the stable continuation of the Gulf Stream with far-reaching implications for human settlement. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Gulf Stream]
