Alaska Current

The Alaska Current is a southwestern shallow warm-water current alongside the west coast of the North American continent beginning at about 48-50°N. The Alaska Current produces large clockwise eddies at two sites: west of the Haida Gwaii ("Haida Eddies") and west of Sitka, Alaska ("Sitka Eddy").
