Detailed explanation-1: -The North Atlantic Drift, in contrast, is largely driven by thermohaline circulation. By carrying warm water northeast across the Atlantic, it makes Western Europe and especially Northern Europe warmer and milder than it otherwise would be.
Detailed explanation-2: -The warm stream and the prevailing westerly winds help to keep the temperatures in northwestern Europe moderate. The North Atlantic Drift’s unusually warm waters help to moderate the climate of western Europe, resulting in milder winters than would otherwise be expected at that latitude.
Detailed explanation-3: -The current often mixes with northern cold polar water to produce excellent fishing grounds near islands and along the coast of northwestern Europe. The combination of the warm current and prevailing westerly winds helps maintain a mild climate in northwestern Europe.
