The sunlight goes some way towards heating the Arctic, but heat also comes from the south with ocean currents and airstreams. One branch of the Gulf Stream, called the North Atlantic Current, flows along the coast of Norway and continues all the way to the Arctic Ocean. There it shifts its name to the West Spitsbergen Current, and almost 60 % of the water entering the Arctic Ocean comes with this.
The current flows at a rate of about 4 km/h (2.5 mph) over the Macquarie Ridge south of New Zealand. The ACC varies with time. Evidence of this is the Antarctic Circumpolar Wave, a periodic oscillation that affects the climate of much of the southern hemisphere.he Antarctic Circumpolar Current is the strongest current system in the world oceans and the only ocean current linking all major oceans: the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.
