AMOC and NAC

What is the relation between the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation and the North Atlantic Current? Neither article refers to the other, but they seem to be closely related phenomena. --Lambiam 20:03, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Those articles don't even have a mutual "see also" entry. It looks to me as though there would be a case for merging the articles, but I know nothing about the subject and suggest you raise it on the respective talk pages.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 11:02, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I have left a request for assistance at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Meteorology. Alansplodge (talk) 11:48, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The North Atlantic Current is a surface and low depth part of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation with an ending latitude higher than the source, it does not include other parts i.e. deeply underwater currents that lose latitude but the AMOC does. If these shut down Britain's mild weather goes bye-bye. Sagittarian Milky Way (talk) 03:38, 14 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
