Canary Current
The
Canary Current
is a wind-driven surface current that is part of the
North Atlantic Gyre
. This eastern
boundary current
branches south from the
North Atlantic Current
and flows southwest about as far as
Senegal
where it turns west and later joins the Atlantic
North Equatorial Current
. The current is named after the
Canary Islands
. The
archipelago
partially blocks the flow of the Canary Current (Gyory, 2007).
