The Guinea Current is an ocean current that flows along the coast of West Africa, particularly off the coast of Guinea. It is part of the North Atlantic Ocean circulation and is influenced by various factors, including the winds, the configuration of the coastline, and the temperature and salinity of the water. The Guinea Current generally moves in a westward direction, originating from the equatorial region, and it is a significant component of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation.
