Wind is caused by pressure differences in regions of air, and the pressure differences are due primarily to temperature fluctuations, and humidity. Areas that are hotter than their surroundings are at a higher pressure, and air moves from high pressure to low pressure. Hot air also tends to form near the ground, where the earth and plants and water trap solar energy and radiate heat into the air. The hot air rises, and also helps create wind.
ocean currents are partly driven by the wind, but also the motion of hot and cold water rising and falling and following the underlying terrain.

Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.

It is caused by the wind or the cold of the water surrounding it.It is also caused by salinity (saltiness).
A surface current is a current caused by wind direction

Air currents (wind).
Water and wind currents flow clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. This effect causes moving air or water to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere, leading to a clockwise flow pattern in both water and wind currents.
They are similar because if you think about it carefully, the ocean currents are caused by the air currents and the air currents are caused by the ocean currents, so, it is all a scientific cycle.
