Hudson pointed the Discovery down the east coast of the newly discovered sea ( now called Hudson Bay ), confident he was on his way to the warm waters of the Pacific.

Ocean currents influence climate by transporting warm and cold waters to other regions.

The current is circumpolar due to the lack of any landmass connecting with Antarctica and this keeps warm ocean waters away from Antarctica, enabling that continent to maintain its huge ice sheet.

The Black Sea outflow is cooler and less saline, and floats over the warm, more saline Mediterranean inflow – as a result of differences in density caused by differences in salinity – leading to a significant anoxic layer well below the surface waters.

Russia wanted access to the " warm waters " of the Mediterranean ; it pursued a pan-Slavic foreign policy and therefore supported Bulgaria and Serbia.

Britain wished to deny Russia access to the " warm waters " and supported the integrity of the Ottoman Empire, although it also supported a limited expansion of Greece as a backup plan in case integrity of the Empire was no longer possible.

The storm picks up strength when it crosses the warm waters of Atlantic.

Surrounding ocean waters are warm, pushed by equatorial and counter-equatorial currents.

Further analysis of the coral extinctions shows that approximately 98 % of colonial species, ones that inhabit warm, shallow tropical waters, became extinct.

While corals are almost entirely restricted to warm, shallow marine waters, other cnidarians live in the depths, in polar seas and in freshwater.

The almost uniformly warm waters that make up 81 % of Indonesia's area ensure that temperatures on land remain fairly constant.

* Plesiosaurs were probably cold-blooded reptiles requiring warm tropical waters, while the average temperature of Loch Ness is only about.

In fact, by the middle Cretaceous, equatorial ocean waters ( perhaps as warm as 20 ° C in the deep ocean ) may have been too warm for sea life, and land areas near the equator may have been deserts despite their proximity to water.

While the constant temperature of the Atlantic Ocean moderates the climate of the south and east coasts of Nova Scotia, heavy ice build-up in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence makes winters colder in northern Nova Scotia ; the shallowness of the Gulf's waters mean that they warm up more than the Atlantic Ocean in the summer, warming the summers in northern Nova Scotia.

While flowing southward it entrains warm and saline Atlantic waters ( which are much saltier than the overflow itself, this is where this water acquires its salty signature ) and the Labrador Sea Water.

The combination of these factors means that sirenians are restricted to warm shallow coastal waters, estuaries, and rivers with healthy ecosystems that support large amounts of seagrass and / or other vegetation.

The shallow Camarinal Sill of the Strait of Gibraltar, which forms the shallowest point within the strait, acts to limit mixing between the cold, less saline Atlantic water and the warm Mediterranean waters.

The Mediterranean waters are so much saltier than the Atlantic waters that they sink below the constantly incoming water and form a highly saline ( thermohaline, both warm and salty ) layer of bottom water.

Southerly and westerly prevailing winds combined with warm surface waters of Lake Erie in summer also negate the lake's cooling ability on the city ; furthermore, the lake's presence increases humidity.

X. maculatus prefers slow-moving waters of canals, ditches, and warm springs.

Bakassi is situated at the extreme eastern end of the Gulf of Guinea, where the warm east-flowing Guinea Current ( called Aya Efiat in Efik ) meets the cold north-flowing Benguela Current ( called Aya Ubenekang in Efik ).

The summer months are warm but can get hot and moderately humid, with moist air riding up from the Gulf of Mexico, and high temperatures surpass on 4 days of the year, and on nearly 40 days.

Kansas City is situated in " Tornado Alley ," a broad region where cold air from the Rocky Mountains in Canada collide with warm air from the Gulf of Mexico, leading to the formation of powerful storms especially during the spring.

Temperatures are generally mildly warm in the winter in the southern part of the state, with highs around New Orleans, Baton Rouge, the rest of south Louisiana, and the Gulf of Mexico averaging 66 ° F ( 19 ° C ), while the northern part of the state is mildly cool in the winter with highs averaging 59 ° F ( 15 ° C ).

In the summer, air masses sometimes come out of the Southern United States, as warm humid air is drawn northward from the Gulf of Mexico.

The North Atlantic Current ( also known as North Atlantic Drift and North Atlantic Sea Movement ) is a powerful warm ocean current that continues the Gulf Stream northeast.

Combined with a steady influx of warm, moist south-westerly winds from the Atlantic Ocean, warmed by the Gulf stream, it gives Molde a climate much warmer than its latitude would indicate.

The climate is temperate and dominated by the Gulf Stream, with warm, damp summers and mild wet winters.

The warm Gulf Stream air current from the Atlantic Ocean is the predominant influence, with a prevailing southwesterly wind.

Bermuda's climate is partly determined by its position, to the East of the warm, northward-moving Gulf Stream, which fuels the Bermuda High.

The localised effect known as the Bermuda High, warm, high-pressure air, fuelled by the heat of the Gulf Stream, rebuilds its strength for a few days before the advance of the next front causes progressively worsening weather.

The warm ocean currents that enter the bay from the larger Gulf of St. Lawrence result in some of the warmest saltwater on the Atlantic coast north of the state of Virginia.

This intensification continued, aided by warm sea surface temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico and good outflow.

The Gulf of Mexico heavily influences the climate by supplying the region with warm, moist air.

Kansas City is situated in " Tornado Alley ", a broad region where cold air from the Rocky Mountains and Canada collides with warm air from the Gulf of Mexico, leading to the formation of powerful storms.

The Gulf Stream is a powerful, warm and swift Atlantic Ocean current that originates at the tip of Florida and follows the coastline of the eastern United States to Newfoundland before crossing the Atlantic Ocean bringing large sport fish species such as the Atlantic Blue Marlin and other Billfish close to the North Carolina coastline.

Joplin is situated in " Tornado Alley ", a broad region where cold air from Canada collides with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and dry air from the lee of the Rocky Mountains, leading to the formation of powerful supercell thunderstorms from which the tornadoes spawn.

Although it can be found anywhere in the open ocean ( especially warm water seas ), it is most commonly found in the tropical and subtropical regions of the Pacific and Indian oceans and in the northern Atlantic Gulf Stream.

The warm air from the Gulf of Mexico is often the fuel for freezing precipitation.

In the summer, the Pacific and tropical winds from the Gulf create warm to hot temperatures, with the highs during July averaging.

A Tiger Shark tagged in the Caribbean has been tracked migrating Cape Cod, although Tiger Sharks are a tropical species during the summer the warm Gulf Stream brings the coast of Cape Cod to within the extreme north of its range.
