probably the flow of water is greater coming from the northern, colder waters in the atlantic ocean than it is in the pacific.

That's true only in the winter. It's because the prevailing winds come from the west. The west coast sees air from a relatively mild ocean in the winter compared to the inland winds on the east.

It has to do with air currents moving around the sea. on the East Coast, air strikes south, so chilly air from the North Sea is drawn down alongside the coast. on the West Coast, air strikes north, so heat air from Mexico strikes up alongside the coast. wish this helps!

It's all in the currents. That nice warm current originating from the Caribbean flows across to Europe. The east coast of Norway is having the warmest waters ever this winter.........
