Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Changed: 3c3,5
As far as I've been able to gather, it's a current just like the Gulf stream, only that it's going the other way and a couple of kilometers below the surface. There's an image of what I'm trying to describe at http://www.snf.se/snf/hallbart/1999/hallbart599/golfstrom.htm (but the text is in Swedish). The NADW is the dark current, the Gulf stream and the North Atlantic drift the light one. --Pinkunicorn

I've checked various Oceanography texts, and none refer to it as a current: not even our own Atlantic Ocean page...
