Not illustrated. 1900 Excerpt: ...the N.E. trades seldom blow south of the equator. But during the glacial epoch the very reverse must have occurred. Hence the great equatorial current of the Atlantic must during that period have been driven considerably south of its present position."f Even at present, while the greater part of the water enters the Gulf of Mexico, one portion is deflected southwards, which in the case mentioned above would happen to the greater portion, if not the whole. Under existing circumstances, the southern division is comparatively small; by far the larger portion of the great equatorial current turns northwards, and warms the Northern hemisphere, so that the comparatively high temperature of the Northern Atlantic is in some measure due to heat derived from the Southern hemisphere. In a subsequent memoir.J Mr. Croll has made some interesting calculations with reference to the great effect produced by the Gulf-Stream on the present climate of Europe. He estimates that it conveys as much heat as is received from the sun by 3,121,870 square miles of the Equator: nearly as much as is received from the sun by the entire Arctic regions, the proportions being as 15 to 18. Our present climate is 12 higher than the normal due to its latitude, but Mr. Croll points out that this is by no means to be considered as measuring the effect of the Gulf-Stream. The temperature of the whole hemisphere is raised by the equatorial currents, and the 12 Trans. Zool. Soc., vol. vi. p. 397. t Croll, Philosophical Magazine, Aug. 1864. X 1. c. Feb. and Oct. 1870.
