Abstract: We prove a formula expressing the Kerov polynomial $Sigm{a}_k$ as a weighted sum over the lattice of noncrossing partitions of the set $1,\mathrm{...},k+1$. In particular, such a formula is related to a partial order $mirr$ on the Lehner's irreducible noncrossing partitions which can be described in terms of left-to-right minima and maxima, descents and excedances of permutations. This provides a translation of the formula in terms of the Cayley graph of the symmetric group $frak{S}_k$ and allows us to recover the coefficients of $Sigm{a}_k$ by means of the posets $P_k$ and $Q_k$ of pattern-avoiding permutations discovered by B'ona and Simion. We also obtain symmetric functions specializing in the coefficients of $Sigm{a}_k$.
