Do ocean currents effect weather and climates?

Answer 1

The answer is from earth.rice.edu/MTPE/hydro/hydrosphere/topics/Ocean_Atm_Circ_ElNino.html

Ocean temperatures and winds are coupled into a complex interactive system. Varying ocean temperatures affect local atmospheric pressure, which creates regional wind patterns that, in turn, drive oceanic currents that affect surface ocean temperatures. This movie illuminates how these processes interact to produce our climate system. In a way, the oceans absorb the suns solar rays, then the currents shift the heat around the globe warming the land during winter & cooling them during the summer.

Answer 2

I not sure but I think that it circulates cold or warm water to other places or locations.
