What is the impact of the North Atlantic Drift on the climate of Europe? What LOWEL factor primarily creates the climates of Scandinavia?
LOWEL Stands For:
Latitude
Ocean Currents
Wind Currents/ Air Pressure
Elevation
Landforms

The relatively warm waters of the North Atlantic Drift are responsible for moderating the climate of western Europe, so that winters are less cold than would otherwise be expected at its latitude. Without the warm North Atlantic Drift, the UK and other places in Europe would be as cold as Canada, at the same latitude.
