There are many ways that bodies of water affect climate, such as warm or cold temperature currents. The Gulf Stream, for example, a warm current, tends to keep the east coast of the US warmer than it otherwise would be, because it flows from the warm Gulf of Mexico past Florida and up along the east coast.
The closer to a body of water a region is, the more "moderated" it is. An example of this is Pensacola, Florida. In the summer, the temperature rarely gets over 90 degrees Fahrenheit. In Kansas City, Kansas the temperature in the summer is almost always over 100 degrees. The complete opposite happens in the winter though. Pensacola is warmer (about 60 degrees) and Kansas City in much colder (temperatures can get to about 15 degrees).

What is an ocaen effect?
There is a typo in your question, but I assume you are asking about the "ocean effect." The ocean effect refers to the influence that oceans have on the climate and weather patterns of surrounding areas. Oceans help regulate temperature, provide moisture for precipitation, and influence wind patterns through processes like evaporation, condensation, and ocean currents.
