This says that its northern edge is often marked by a line of clouds,
kicked off by the thermal edge between cold North Atlantic water and the
warm Gulf Stream. That made me wonder if the cloud street ever stretches
right across the Atlantic and, if it does, would it be strong enough
and persist long enough to allow a glider to make the crossing.

It would be a helluva flight!
