Knowledge of Gulf Stream current systems is important for both ship routing and fisheries. The background image shows a global map of sea-surface height anomalies based on satellite altimeter data produced by the Copernicus Marine Service for  26 November 2025. All altimeter tracks display data collected on that same day. Image illustrative and not for operational use. Image: Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2025), processed by Eumetsat
