Abstract
Interactions between oceanic heat transfer and the formation of the fields of spatial geopotential gradients in the middle troposphere has been studied using linear regressive analysis. The analysis of the spatial distribution of coefficients of correlation shows that heat fluxes in the Northern Atlantic play a significant role in the formation of circulation features of the middle troposphere over the Atlantic–European region, which indicates the possible predictability of large-scale characteristics of circulation due to oceanic processes.
