Animation of sea surface currents in the Gulf of Mexico and off the U.S. Southeast coast from earth.nullschool.net/. The Gulf Stream Current draws water away from the U.S. Southeast, producing a height gradient with lower sea level near the coast and higher sea level farther out. A slowdown in the Gulf Stream with additional global warming is projected to accelerate sea level rise in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
