Image Caption: This view of the ocean current boundry between the Gulf Stream of the North Atlantic Ocean and the coastal currents off the eastern seaboard of North America (43.5N, 65.5W), is an excellent study in ocean dynamics. The warm waters of the Gulf Stream are clearly visible as a dynamic rapidly flowing current with many internal wave patterns and a rougher surface versus the cooler and less active coastal shelf waters having a smoother surface.
