= Warm core ring
{wiki=Warm_core_ring}
A warm core ring is a type of oceanic feature typically associated with warm, salty water that circulates in a circular or oval formation, often found in the vicinity of ocean currents like the Gulf Stream. These features are characterized by their relatively warm temperatures compared to the surrounding waters, and they can be thought of as localized areas of warm water that can influence marine ecosystems, weather patterns, and ocean circulation.
