Question

How the oceans affect patterns of weather?

Answer 1

The complete answer would be enough to fill  volume of books.  So here are  few basics just for examples.

Ocean water provide a good source of moisture to the atmosphere through the process of evaporation.  It plays a main role in the Earth's hydrological cycle.

Ocean water temperatures will help moderate the Earth's surface temperature.  With warner sea surface temperature, you will generally increase the moisture ans instability of the lower pat of the atmosphere.  This extra heat energy and instability can result in the development of a stronger jet stream.  It can also help change the location of the core of he jet stream.  This jet stream is where winter storms usually follows.

Answer 2

the water temperature can affect weather.

Hurricanes need warm water so won't form over Antarctica in cold oceans.

Hope this helps
