1. North Atlantic Drift n. Oceanography a warm ocean current representing a continuation of the Gulf Stream across the Atlantic, flowing from Newfoundland to the coast of north-west Europe, where it has a significant warming effect on the climate. Similarly North Atlantic Current.In common use Gulf Stream is used to refer to this current, as well as to the Gulf Stream proper.
