Nearshore marine forecasts over the Gulf Coast, issued by the National Weather Service
The Gulf of Mexico loop current brings warm Caribbean water northward between the Yucatan Peninsula and Cuba and into the Gulf. The current loops around the Gulf, flows southeastward into the Florida Strait where it serves as a parent to the Florida current and ultimately joins the Gulf Stream.
Knowing the exact location of currents such as the Gulf Stream and its associated warm and cold eddies is important information that can, in turn, be used in hurricane strength forecast models. RTOFS produces nowcasts and forecasts of sea levels, ocean currents, temperatures and salinity.
