The Caribbean Current is a warm ocean current that transports significant amounts of water and flows northwestward through the Caribbean from the east along the coast of South America and into the Gulf of Mexico. [1] The current results from the flow of the Atlantic South Equatorial Current as it flows north
Water flows through the Caribbean Sea from east to west. This flow consists of 5 Sv of water from the North Equatorial Current flowing through the Windward Passage and 12 Sv of water from the South Equatorial Current which flows along the coast of Brazil. The total flow is about 17 Sv at a temperature of at least 17 °C (63 °F).
This article lists rivers by their average discharge measured in descending order of their water flow rate. Here, only those rivers whose discharge is more than 2,000 m 3 /s (71,000 cu ft/s) are shown. It can be thought of as a list of the biggest rivers on Earth, measured by a specific metric.

The Caribbean Current flows from east to west in the deep waters off the continental shelf of Honduras. [26] In doing so, every few months, it generates cyclonic, counterclockwise gyres, characterised by a central water level depression of 8–12 inches (20–30 cm), which take 2–3 months to progress westwards along the ...

The Caribbean Sea is one of the largest seas on Earth and has an area of about 2,754,000 km 2 (1,063,000 sq mi). [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The sea's deepest point is the Cayman Trough , between the Cayman Islands and Jamaica , at 7,686 m (25,217 ft) below sea level .
