- Abstract
The recent sea surface temperature (SST) and air temperature (T2m) for the Eastern Mediterranean Basin (EMB) are analyzed using 0.75 degree gridded ERA-Interim dataset, in the period 1979-2010. The results indicate that these data have a significant positive trend. During the period of study, the annual average values (trends) of SST and T2m in the EMB were 20.03±1.25°C (0.39±0.1°C/decade) and 18.79±1.52°C (0.43±0.06°C/decade) respectively. Finally, these variables are linked with the North Atlantic Oscillation Index.
