Oceanic Circulation and Climate Ocean currents play an important role in transferring heat from the warm tropics to cold polar regions. An example is relatively mild climate of Norway that depends upon the warm waters form the south through an extension of the Gulf Stream System. Oslo is 60°N a flourishing capital of Europe. By contrast, to the west across the Nordic Sea is Greenland with its southern tip at also at 60°N and here glaciers reach sea level producing giant icebergs. The heat transferred by oceans currents and southwesterly winds to the shores and coastal ranges of Norway is the answer for this.
