The dc current that flows through the subscriber loop. It is typically provided by the central office or PBX, and ranges from 20-120mA.
A current setting clockwise in the Gulf of Mexico. It enters through the Yucatan Channel from the Caribbean Sea and leaves through the Straits of Florida.
The continuation of the Mediterranean Current through the Yucatan Strait and on into the Gulf of Mexico. It is dynamically a western boundary current that separates from the shelf north of the Yucatan Strait, becomes unstable, and intermittently sheds anticyclonic eddies or rings into the Gulf of Mexico. The speed of the current has been estimated to be 1.0 m/s in Yucatan Strait, falling off to 0.4 m/s at 1000 m depth. A highly irregular southward flowing undercurrent has also been found in the 200 m above the sill depth.
current that flows from the CO when a telecom device goes off hook.
That portion of the Gulf Stream System flowing into the Gulf of Mexico beyond the Yucatan Channel, turning (or looping) an ticyclonic ally within the Gulf, and exiting through the Straits of Florida.
The current that flows through the circuit from the telephone switch to the voice board when the channel is off-hook.
The current that flows through the circuit from the telephone switch when the Voice device is off-hook.
The passage of water through the Gulf of Mexico from Yucatan Strait to the Straits of Florida and the connection between the Caribbean and Florida Currents. The Loop Current is part of the western boundary current system of the North Atlantic subtropical gyre and as such is swift flowing, extending to great depth, and prone to instabilities. Its path includes a large northward excursion into the gulf beyond 27°N but retreats to 25°N when shedding an eddy. Eddies drift slowly westward into the central and western Gulf of Mexico.
Part of the Gulf Stream, the Loop Current is a warm ocean current in the Gulf of Mexico that flows northward between Cuba and the Yucatán peninsula, moves north into the Gulf of Mexico, then loops east and south before exiting to the east through the Florida Straits.
