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

寒冷的急流猛烈撞击大西流产生的潮湿空气会引发气。

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.

昨日的天气相对凉爽，可以防止热带风暴的加剧，但是当其经过墨西哥流的温水域时，它确实有变的更强劲的可能。

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

由于墨西哥流的影响，我们这里的海水温度一般在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.

在大西，墨西哥流顺着北美海岸而上。

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.

由于缺少了墨西哥流所带来的热量，北半球纬度较高地区的气候重新回复到严寒的状况。

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.

然而每年的这个时候，冰岛周边海域的养分都非常充沛，这是温的北大西流与北冰冰冷的海水交汇的结果。

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

但当该风暴经过墨西哥较温水域时，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.

大家知道大西中有那名为“漩流”的大流存在。

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，墨西哥流的大西流是这个巨大流系统的一部分。

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.

尽管地处北极圈边缘，冰岛的气候实际上总比同一纬度的其它地方温一些，这是受到北大西流温海水影响的结果。

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.

墨西哥流每天送到欧洲的热量，相当于全世界10年的煤产量。与加拿大和俄罗斯相比，为什么英国和爱尔兰冬天的气候比较温和，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，海流做为调节器，有着调节平衡温度的作用，以及掺和热带海水和北极海水的责任。

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.

尽管冰岛位于北极圈边缘的高纬度地区，它的周边海域却因受益于北大西流而不会完全冻结，这是一股水温比周围海水高出几度的温流系统。

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，当地球重新变时，墨西哥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.

“这股海流可是一个保证欧洲海岸四季常绿的大炉。

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

这时，海流的速度是每秒2.25米。

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

在冰岛的内陆地区，没有了北大西流带来的相对温的空气，生存开始变得异常艰难。

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

海流在那里的宽度是75海里，深度是210米。
