For this purpose, the standardized Dynamic Indian Monsoon Index by Wang and Fan (1999) was used for a period of 44 years (1958-2001) along with ERA40 Reanalysis data, including monthly means of surface air temperature and wind at 850hPa with a horizontal resolution of 0.25° latitude x 0.25° longitude. Initially, the correlation maps of the seasonal anomalies of the two variables upon ISM index are computed and subsequently Empirical Orthogonal Function Analysis (EOF) is carried out on individual fields. Under this framework, correlation coefficients between the derived EOF amplitudes and ISM index are calculated and in order to validate the results from the first method, the EOF modes that exhibit high correlation coefficients are compared to the aforementioned correlation patterns. Our results verify that there is correlation between Indian monsoon and the etesian pattern over the Aegean Sea. 1 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0 Scientific Coordinator LOMv1.0 Project Final Beneficiary LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2012 Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text Mediterranean region Indian summer Monsoon http://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2012/EGU2012-10717-2.pdf 37109 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/2046/2/2046_EGU2012-10717-2.pdf Η παρουσίαση της παραπάνω εργασίας έγινε στις 23 Απριλίου 2012 στα πλαίσια του συνεδρίου EGU General Assembly 2012 (EGU 2012), που πραγματοποιήθηκε στη Βιέννη της Αυστρίας την περίοδο 22-27 Απριλίου 2012.
