Main ocean currents of North Atlantic Oceans cycle:

The North Atlantic Current (NAC), also recognized as North Atlantic Drift and North Atlantic Sea Movement, is an influential warm western boundary current within the Atlantic Ocean that covers the Gulf Stream northeastward.

• The North Atlantic current initiates from where the Gulf Stream turns north at the Southeast Newfoundland Rise, an undersea ridge that bounces southeast from the Grand Banks.  

• The North Atlantic current flows northward east of the Grand Banks, from 40°N to 51°N, before turning abruptly east to cross the Atlantic.

• It carry more warm tropical water to northern latitudes than any other boundary current; more than 40 Sv in the south and 20 Sv as it crosses the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
