message: "meteorologists speculate" may be premature - I don't have a cite for that (yet, but I'm asking).  I noted that the track of Camille matches the plot of the Loop Current I got from the Hurricane Rita article. Simesa 14:51, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I added "meterologists speculate."  I believe (though I'm not sure) that it was one of the bloggers at wunderground.com -- Jeff Masters or Steve Gregory, both of whom seem pretty knowledgable -- who said that.  I don't have a better source, sorry. Geoff.green 00:54, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Statement

message: I'm thinking of changing this article to be entitled "Loop Current and Eddy Vortex".  The Loop Current appears to hug tight to Cuba - it's the Eddy Vortex spinning off of it into the Gulf during the late summer that is fueling the hurricanes.  I want to wait though until I hear from some of the experts.  Comments? Simesa 15:18, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: First more content is needed, then consider changing the title to fit the material.  The present version should have "hurricane" in the title.  More information on the ocean currents is needed.  (SEWilco 16:34, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

message: ColoradoU-Boulder's news release has a link to a great Katrina/Loop Current graphic, but it is in a PDF file.  I'm going to try to use PrintScreen and Paint to get it into a JPG - anybody got a better idea? Simesa 19:21, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I was successful, and the image is in.  If anyone would like a sharper image I can try to put it up as a BMP. Simesa 08:42, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Not sure what this has to do with the loop current, but...the WMO said that 2005 was likely to end up as the second-hottest year (1998 was the hottest).  Interestingly, the 9 hottest years ever recorded (they claim records go back to 1861), in no particular order, are 1997-2005.    Jdorje 06:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

message: It seemed obvious to me that "loop current" wasn't a proper noun, so I renamed the article.  However a google search shows it capitalized in almost all uses, so maybe it is a proper noun.  It should be easy to move the article back if anyone feels strongly about it (I do not object). Jdorje 06:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Despite a request I left, there is no mention of Loop Current in Tropical cyclone.  Nor do I see a convenient place to put one (there should probably be a separate section for it).  Would someone like to try to put something there? Simesa 21:08, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

message: There are news media accounts that this massive oil spill will reach the Loop Current.  That the oil will be carried to the Florida Keys, Miami and up the East Coast.

So, how far North does the Loop Current go?  Where does it go after it leaves Florida?  Thanks. Rumjal

message: From what I've read the exact trajectory of the loop current has been revised and contrary to earlier assumption it doesn't really traverse the  complete coastline as the old map still suggests. Therefore the map should probably be removed or replaced because it conveys false information to the reader.--Kmhkmh (talk) 18:26, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: outdated map?

message: Someone who is an expert in this area might want to take a look at this data:
http://www.infiniteunknown.net/2010/08/06/loop-current-in-the-gulf-of-mexico-has-stalled-from-bp-oil-disaster/
It seems the Loop Current has been aborted by oil from the Deep Horizons disaster. The effect the Loop Current has on the Gulf Stream warming it and giving it more flow towards Europe is fairly well known and will be of huge consequence this winter. It is unknown if the Loop Current will recover its normal shape and dynamic.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.86.46.143 (talk) 08:54, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

message: I've removed the global warming bit and quote as there was no sourced connection to the Loop Current. Without a sourced connection it was WP:SYN. Also removed the global warming/hurricane category for same reason. Vsmith (talk) 17:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
