King of Currents: A Gulf Stream Journey

Stagione 1

The Gulf Stream is the fastest, mightiest, and warmest surface current of the oceans. The warmth it transports from the tropics North equals the energy produced by one million nuclear power plants. We travel the current on research vessels, we measure it with buoys, computer animations and CGIs show its course, its role in the global ocean circulation system and for the climate of the planet.
