loop current
The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current. It originates in the Gulf of Mexico (part of North America's coastal waters) and flows across the Atlantic Ocean towards Europe. As a warm - water current, it has a significant impact on Europe's climate, making it milder than it would be otherwise. El Niño and El Niña are climate patterns related to sea - surface temperature anomalies in the Pacific Ocean. The Loop Current is mainly in the Gulf of Mexico and does not have the wide - reaching effect on Europe's climate like the Gulf Stream.
