At present, most available data show that Gulf Stream flow was stable over
the past 40 years. One report, based on a snapshot survey, suggested that
the deep return flow has weakened by 30% since 1957, which would imply a
weakening in the North Atlantic Deep Water production. However, this should
have caused a temperature drop of several degrees in northwest Europe, which
has not been observed. It was later discovered, using the first
cross-Atlantic array of moored current meters, that variations within one
year were just as large. At least part of the apparent weakening of the Gulf
Stream (if real) may be cyclical and connected to recent positive values
of North Atlantic Oscillation.
