The influence of Indian summer monsoon on the climatic regime of Eastern MediterraneangreURIhttp://hdl.handle.net/10795/2046earth sciencesmeteorologyclimatologyenvironmental monitoringclimate changeatmospheric pollutionThe objective of this study is to further investigate the ISM impact on the temperature and wind regime of the Eastern Mediterranean region, with the aid of multivariate statistics. 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.creatorScientific CoordinatorProject Final BeneficiaryProject Executing Organisation2012TextMediterranean regionIndian summerMonsoonhttp://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2012/EGU2012-10717-2.pdf37109application/pdfhttp://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/2046/2/2046_EGU2012-10717-2.pdfΗ 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.URIhttp://hdl.handle.net/10795/2046creator2016-02-19T14:45:14Zvalidator2016-02-19T14:45:14ZLOMv1.0grenonoCopyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
