- Abstract
This article presents a study regarding the possible teleconnection patterns of atmospheric circulation, focused over eastern Mediterranean with the aid of gridded NCEP/NCAR daily values of geopotential heights for the period 1958-2003. The study aims to investigate the existence of any teleconnection patterns centered over eastern Mediterranean throughout the whole troposphere on a seasonal and monthly basis with the help of correlation and rotated principal component analysis. Moreover, it also define a teleconnection index based on gridded data and study the temporal variations of the identified patterns.
