This paper reviews the progress in our understanding of the atmospheric response to midlatitude oceanic fronts and eddies, emphasizing the Kuroshio-Oyashio Extension (KOE) region. Oceanic perturbations of interest consist of sharp oceanic fronts, temperature anomalies associated with mesoscale eddie...
