Gulf Stream

Visually stunning images of the Gulf Stream are all over the internet. Which I tend to do sometimes when I should be doing other things.
It is great to see the eddies forming. This is the stream that keeps England warm as a opposed to the freezing temperatures seen at the same latitude of other countries.





I know there is alot of research being done right now to try to determine the changes that are occuring with the Gulf Stream, a topic that lies beyond this blog post. I just wanted to show the eddies as they exist today, which this last one is a 3D image of the stream.
