The North Atlantic Drift has the warmest water.

The North Atlantic Drift is the name received by the North Atlantic Current which a warm current in the Atlantic Ocean. The origin of this current is where the Gulf Stream turns north at the Southeast Newfoundland Rise. This Current has high salinity besides the warm temperature.The Atlantic Ocean which covers one/fifth of the World's surface separates the American and European and African continent.
