Atlantic
This term functions as a proper noun when referring to the specific ocean and as a proper adjective when describing things associated with it. Because it is a proper noun referring to a unique geographical entity, it is always capitalized regardless of its position in a sentence.
As a noun, it is treated as a singular, unique entity. It does not have a plural form because there is only one Atlantic Ocean. When used as an adjective, it often appears in geopolitical or meteorological contexts, such as Atlantic trade or Atlantic hurricanes, to distinguish these from Pacific or Indian counterparts.
