Abstract
A new physical mechanism of Gulf Stream abnormally large heating (up to 20 oC) and current shifting to the North (~ 200 km) in the summer 2011 off the coast of New Carolina was suggested and discussed. The key point is a tenfold decrease of sea water shear viscosity due to conversion of H2O para-ortho spin isomers when heated to a temperature singular point (19-20 oC). This results in Gulf Stream shifting from the previous trajectory due to an inertial motion in a straight line. The observed phenomenon was triggered by Deepwater Horizon disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The huge oil eruption resulted in iridescent film formation over a hundreds of thousands of square kilometers area (http://newsland.com/news/detail/id/1218207). The thin oil film dramatically changed the solar radiation absorbance and sea water thermodynamics, blocked the evaporation.
