6. The Antarctic Circumpolar Current transports warm water from the Pacific Ocean to the northern Atlantic Ocean. This warms the Atlantic Ocean and increases temperatures in the surrounding region. This reduces seasonal fluctuations in European weather patterns. also

I believe the statement that best compares weather and climate is that Weather refers to the atmospheric conditions at a given time while climate refers to the average weather conditions over an extended period of time. Weather reflects short term conditions of the atmosphere while climate is the average daily weather for an extended period of time at a certain location.
