| Description |
English: The Loop Current pushes up into the Gulf from the Caribbean Sea. The current’s tropical warmth makes it stand out from the surrounding cooler waters of the Gulf of Mexico in this image. The current loses its northward momentum about mid-way through the gulf, and bends back on itself to flow south. It joins warm waters flowing eastward between Florida and Cuba, which then merge with the Gulf Stream Current on its journey up the East Coast. Deutsch: Der Loop Current drängt vom Karibischen Meer aus in den Golf von Mexiko. Die tropische Wärme der Strömung lässt diese in dieser Darstellung sich vom kälteren Wasser des Golfes von Mexiko abheben. Die Strömung verliert ihr nordwärts gerichtetes Momentum etwa auf halber Strecke in den Golf hinein und biegt ab, um schließlich wieder nach Süden zu führen. Die Strömung verbindet sich mit dem ostwärts fließenden warmen Wasser zwischen Florida und Kuba und schlie$lich mit der Golfströmung auf ihrem Weg entlang der Ostküste der Vereinigten Staaten. |
