Congrats to Dr. Steven Moss, Pasadena, CA, who correctly identified the Atlantic Gyre. “The Atlantic Gyre is group of currents that flow around the edges of the North Atlantic Ocean in a clockwise direction with the Sargasso Sea in their middle. The named currents in the gyre are the Gulf Stream on the west side, the North Atlantic Current across the north side, the Canary Current down the east side and the North Equatorial Current along the south side.”
