- "After observing water levels six inches to two feet higher than originally predicted, NOAA scientists began analyzing data from select tide stations and buoys from Maine to Florida and found that a weakening of the Florida Current Transport -- an oceanic current that feeds into the Gulf Stream -- in addition to steady and persistent Northeast winds, contributed to this anomaly." - excerpt from this National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) article.
