The Scream

May 18: An artists rendition of the Gulf Stream. The big eddy continues to be trimmed back in size. But whats that little red spot at 72W, 39.5N thats spinning in the clockwise direction? Its pulling some cold shelf water around itself. We'll have to go back into the individual images to see where that came from. We still have a band of warm water along the New Jersey shelf break. Coldest water from the Gulf of Maine region looks to be flowing south at midshelf.
