I've been crossing the Gulf Stream since the early 80s in submarines and sailboats, both of which are slow craft, especially the sailboat. A sailboat only goes 5knts and one must make corrections for the Gulf Stream current. A 30% reduction is a substantial reduction and would result in errors of navigation and or changes in the correction used. You can review any navigational aids you wish, you will not find any that have changed the correction used for the Gulf Stream since the '80s, that is, the 1880s. The science here isn't science. Instead of using a bunch of college kids that know nothing of the sea, get US Navy records and records from actual sailors that cross all the time. The US Navy has accurate temperature records taken at depths to 1000ft for hundreds of locations daily. There is no changes in their records and their measurements were not take as part of any experiment, they are the only true double blind study with trained personel that exist and every wants to ignore them.
