Recent experiments show that the Nernst-Ettingshausen effect is orders of magnitude stronger than the thermoelectric Seebeck effect in superconductors above the critical temperature. We explain different magnitudes of the two effects accounting for the magnetization current of virtual Cooper pairs. The method allows for detailed understanding of the surprising non-monotonic dependence of the Nernst-Ettingshausen coefficient on the magnetic field.
