Question
On the Gulf Stream analysis, three oval warm eddies appear on Figure 10A-5. In particular, one located at approximately 39°N, 69°W is labeled “W2010.” The SST is ______°F, which is several degrees warmer than the water surrounding the ring. In particular, this eddy shows the mixing between the colder shelf water closest to the coast and the warmer waters from the northern gulf stream current.

![The pressure blocks we have been examining can be used to model ocean currents and find relationships among water temperature, height of the ocean surface,
and ocean currents. The warm Gulf Stream Current forms the western arm of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre. Infrared sensors from Earth-orbiting satellites
provide SSTS of the Gulf Stream. The images in Figure 10A-5 and Figure 10A-6 were produced on 3 December 2020 and cover the Atlantic Ocean along the E
Coast of North America and the Gulf of Mexico.

Figure 10A-6. Gulf of Mexico and lower North Atlantic Gulf Stream analysis on 3 DEC 2020. [U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, Link 10A-1]
Figure 10A-5 displays the higher-latitude North Atlantic, while Figure 10A-6 shows the Gulf of Mexico and the lower North Atlantic, both plotting SST in degrees
Fahrenheit (°F). The thinly drawn curves mark water-mass boundaries. The Gulf Stream (GS) is the relatively narrow, irregular ribbon of warmer surface water
that curves from Florida and extends northward along Florida’s eastern coast before turning northeastward beyond North Carolina's Cape Hatteras in Figure 10A-
6. It then extends eastward. The Gulf Stream's southern boundary (GSS) initially appears east of the Gulf Stream to the east of central Florida. It turns
northeastward, roughly paralleling the northern boundary (GSN).
Other boundaries in Figure 10A-5 and Figure 10A-6 are labeled, GS for Gulf Stream, LC for Loop Current, SG for Sargasso Sea, SH for Shelf Water, and SL for
Slope Water, and combined with E, S, W, and N to identify eastern, southern, western, and northern boundary positions.
Ocean water rings, or eddies, occur when western boundary currents form looping meanders that pinch off from the main current into isolated and persistent
rotating warm-core and cold-core bodies of water. Their presence is evidenced by differences between their surface temperatures and the temperatures of the
waters surrounding them. The eddies are labeled as W if their centers are warmer than the surrounding waters or C if their centers are colder. Along with the letter
to denote the temperature, eddies also are identified with two numbers for the year (20 for 2020) followed by numbers indicating sequence of their initial
appearance for the year.

Gulf of Mexico B&W
Figure 10A-6. Gulf of Mexico and lower North Atlantic Gulf Stream analysis on 3 DEC 2020. [U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, Link 10A-1]
Figure 10A-5 displays the higher-latitude North Atlantic, while Figure 10A-6 shows the Gulf of Mexico and the lower North Atlantic, both plotting SST in degrees
Fahrenheit (°F). The thinly drawn curves mark water-mass boundaries. The Gulf Stream (GS) is the relatively narrow, irregular ribbon of warmer surface water
that curves from Florida and extends northward along Florida’s eastern coast before turning northeastward beyond North Carolina's Cape Hatteras in Figure 10A-
6. It then extends eastward. The Gulf Stream's southern boundary (GSS) initially appears east of the Gulf Stream to the east of central Florida. It turns
northeastward, roughly paralleling the northern boundary (GSN).
Other boundaries in Figure 10A-5 and Figure 10A-6 are labeled, GS for Gulf Stream, LC for Loop Current, SG for Sargasso Sea, SH for Shelf Water, and SL for
Slope Water, and combined with E, S, W, and N to identify eastern, southern, western, and northern boundary positions.
Ocean water rings, or eddies, occur when western boundary currents form looping meanders that pinch off from the main current into isolated and persistent
rotating warm-core and cold-core bodies of water. Their presence is evidenced by differences between their surface temperatures and the temperatures of the
waters surrounding them. The eddies are labeled as W if their centers are warmer than the surrounding waters or C if their centers are colder. Along with the letter
to denote the temperature, eddies also are identified with two numbers for the year (20 for 2020) followed by numbers indicating sequence of their initial
appearance for the year.
