answer to this question remains somewhat controversial
within the atmospheric and oceanic communities. In the first
half of the talk, I provide a review of the general
arguments made for and against the oceanic role and
summarize why there has been a strong resurgence in research
interest in recent years. In the second half, I propose a
new framework that I believe resolves many open questions
from the past decade and shows that the extra-tropical ocean
is indeed critical in shaping both mid-latitude weather and
climate.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
