  abstract = {{T}he warm {W}estern {B}oundary {C}urrents ({WBC}s) and their zonal extensions are persistent, deep, strong and narrow oceanic currents. {T}hey are known to anchor and energize the {E}xtra-{T}ropical storm tracks by frontal thermal air-sea interactions. {H}owever, even in the latest generation of climate models, {WBC}s are characterized by large biases, and both the present storm-track activity and its recent intensification are poorly estimated. {M}esoscale air-sea interactions, and in particular the {C}urrent {F}eedback to the {A}tmosphere ({CFB}) have been shown to be important in ocean and in particular {WBC} dynamics as they modify the energy budget of the ocean. {CFB} causes eddy-killing by drag friction between currents and the atmosphere. {I}t damps the oceanic eddy activity, and, thus, weakens the eddy-mean flow interaction, stabilizing {WBC}s. {B}ased on cutting-edge high-resolution coupled global simulations, we show that the stabilization of {WBC}s by {CFB} modulates the mean {S}ea {S}urface {T}emperature and its meridional gradients as well and the turbulent heat fluxes between the ocean and the atmosphere. {T}his alters the baroclinicity of the lower atmosphere, which in turn modulates the extra tropical storm-tracks intensity by up to 15%.},
