Claim: On the other side of the Atlantic ocean, climates are typically milder as a result of the cooling from the Gulf Stream.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: For example, the Gulf Stream helps moderate winter temperatures along the coastline of southeastern North America, keeping it warmer in winter along the coast than inland areas.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The Gulf Stream also keeps extreme temperatures from occurring on the Florida Peninsula.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: Although there has been recent debate, there is consensus that the climate of Western Europe and Northern Europe is warmer than it would otherwise be due to the North Atlantic Current which is the northeastern section of the Gulf Stream.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: East winds moving over this warm water move warm air from over the Gulf Stream inland, helping to keep temperatures milder across the state than elsewhere across the Southeast during the winter.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 1
Passage: The coastal climate of Norway is exceptionally mild compared with areas on similar latitudes elsewhere in the world, with the Gulf Stream passing directly offshore the northern areas of the Atlantic coast, continuously warming the region in the winter.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The climate of most of Scotland is temperate and oceanic, and tends to be very changeable., As it is warmed by the Gulf Stream from the Atlantic, it has much milder winters (but cooler, wetter summers) than areas on similar latitudes, such as Labrador, southern Scandinavia, the Moscow region in Russia, and the Kamchatka Peninsula on the opposite side of Eurasia.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: A northwards branch of the Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Drift, is part of the thermohaline circulation (THC), transporting warmth further north to the North Atlantic, where its effect in warming the atmosphere contributes to warming Europe.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The climate of the Azores is very mild for such a northerly location, being influenced by its distance to continents and the passing Gulf Stream.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: The climate inside the Arctic Circle is generally cold, but the coastal areas of Norway have a generally mild climate as a result of the Gulf Stream, which makes the ports of northern Norway and northwest Russia ice-free all year long.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: As the temperature difference between the Arctic and the equator decreases, ocean currents that are driven by that temperature difference, like the Gulf Stream, are weakening.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: In the higher latitudes, the North Atlantic Drift, warms the atmosphere over the oceans, keeping the British Isles and north-western Europe mild and cloudy, and not severely cold in winter like other locations at the same high latitude.

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: Wind-driven surface currents (such as the Gulf Stream) travel polewards from the equatorial Atlantic Ocean, cooling en route, and eventually sinking at high latitudes (forming North Atlantic Deep Water).

Relevance (1 = gold evidence, 0 = mined hard negative): 0
Passage: As it travels north, the warm water transported by the Gulf Stream undergoes evaporative cooling.
