| Abstract | The Florida Current represents the origins of the Gulf Stream that flows northward into the high latitude North Atlantic, eventually becoming the North Atlantic Current. The flow of this water mass warms the atmosphere above it, redistributing heat from the tropics to higher latitudes. As the North Atlantic Current cools near the Arctic, it becomes dense and sinks to the deep ocean then flows southward and in part drives the large-scale Atlantic meridional overturning circulation, which moderate |
