When the frigid jet stream bumps hard against humid air generated by the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic, meteorological mayhem results.

寒冷急流猛烈撞击西洋流产生潮湿空气会引发气象灾害。

It was over relatively cool water yesterday which can keep tropical storms from intensifying but it does have a chance to get stronger when it passes over the warmer waters of the Gulf stream.

昨日天气相对凉爽，可以防止热带风暴加剧，但是其经过墨西哥流温暖水域时，它确实有变更强劲可能。

But because of the Gulf Stream, we have sea temperatures here generally between seven and 12, 12 months of the year.

由于墨西哥流影响，我们这里海水温度一般在7到12度之间，全年如此。

In the Atlantic, you have the gulf stream going up the coast of North America.

在西洋，墨西哥流顺着美海岸而上。

If trends continue by 2100, the gulf stream will weaken by 34 to 45%.

如果到 2100 年这个趋势仍持续下去，墨西哥流将减弱 34% 至 45%。

Deprived of the Gulf Stream's warmth, the northern latitudes returned to chilly conditions.

由于缺少了墨西哥暖流所带来热量，半球纬度较高地区气候重新回复到严寒状况。

But the waters around Iceland are particularly fertile at this time of the year, a result of the warmth from the North Atlantic Gulf Stream mixing with icy waters of the Arctic Ocean.

然而每年这个时候，冰岛周边海域养分都非常充沛，这是温暖西洋暖流与冰洋冰冷海水交汇结果。

But it does have a chance to get stronger when it passes over the warmer waters of the Gulf stream.

但该风暴经过墨西哥较温暖水域时，其确实有机会加强。

No one is unaware of the existence of that great warm-water current known by name as the Gulf Stream.

家知道西洋中有那名为“漩流”暖流存在。

The Gulf Stream had carried it 3,000 kilometres up the eastern US coast to Prince Edward Island.

墨西哥流载着它漂了3000千米沿着美国东海岸漂到了爱德华王子岛省。

The Atlantic current called the Gulf Stream is part of this huge current system, NOAA says.

NOAA说，墨西哥流西洋洋流是这个巨洋流系统一部分。

Although on the edge of the Arctic Circle, Iceland's climate is actually warmer than other places at this latitude, a result of the warm waters of the Atlantic Gulf Stream.

尽管地处极圈边缘，冰岛气候实际上总比同一纬度其它地方温暖一些，这是受到西洋暖流温暖海水影响结果。

Every day, the Gulf Stream carries an amount of heat to Europe equivalent to the world's output of coal for ten years, which is why Britain and Ireland have such mild winters compared with Canada and Russia.

墨西哥暖流每天送到欧洲热量，相于全世界10年煤产量。与加拿和俄罗斯相比，为什么英国和爱尔兰冬天气候比较温和，原因就在这里。

Then, entrusted with restoring the balance between hot and cold temperatures and with mixing tropical and northern waters, the Gulf Stream begins to play its stabilizing role.

所以说，海暖流做为调节器，有着调节平衡温度作用，以及掺和热带海水和极海水责任。

Despite Iceland's high latitude on the edge of the Arctic circle, its coastal waters do not completely freeze thanks to the warmer Atlantic Gulf Stream, a system of thermal currents a few degrees warmer than the surrounding waters.

尽管冰岛位于极圈边缘高纬度地区，它周边海域却因受益于西洋暖流而不会完全冻结，这是一股水温比周围海水高出几度温暖洋流系统。

But this doesn't begin to explain why a thousand years later when the Earth warmed once again the Gulf Stream didn't veer as before.

但是这不能解释为什么1000年以后，地球重新变暖时，墨西哥暖流却没有像以往那样转向。

This Gulf Stream is a huge heat generator that enables the coasts of Europe to be decked in eternal greenery.

“这股海暖流可是一个保证欧洲海岸四季常绿暖炉。

Just then the Gulf Stream's speed was 2.25 meters per second.

这时，海暖流速度是每秒2.25米。

Inland, away from the relative warmth provided by the North Atlantic Gulf Stream, life on Iceland is tough.

在冰岛内陆地区，没有了西洋暖流带来相对温暖空气，生存开始变得异常艰难。

There the Gulf Stream is seventy-five miles wide and 210 meters deep.

海暖流在那里宽度是75海里，深度是210米。
