The Bermuda high is a large, persistent high pressure system centered roughly on the island of Bermuda in the mid-Atlantic. Air circulates clockwise around high pressure systems because of the Coriolis effect. Is there any connection between Atlantic Ocean currents and this weather feature?

Answer:

The Coriolis effect influence the Atlantic Ocean currents.

Step-by-step explanation:

The currents of the southern hemisphere have a characteristic of moving to the right, in contrast the currents of the northern hemisphere tend to move to the left and the Coriolis effect is responsible for that.

It is common believe that the Atlantic Ocean has influence on Coriolis effect but has always been the opposite, been able to only change surface currents.
