Each is flanked by a strong and narrow âwestern boundary current,â and a weak and broad âeastern boundary currentâ (Ross, 1995).
Today, it is understood that the waters feeding into the Gulf Stream begin flowing off the west coast of Northern Africa (map) . There, the Atlantic North Equatorial Current flows from that continent across the Atlantic Ocean.he North Atlantic Current then flows further north and feeds the Norwegian Current and moves the relatively warm water along the west coast of Europe. The rest of the Gulf Stream flows into the Canary Current which moves along the eastern side of the Atlantic Ocean and back south to the equator.
