Temperature predictability in the Great Mediterranean Area

Geomorphological analysis of Morphometric Characteristics of the Upper Part of the Rumeimine and Tekala Catchments: A study in the Climatic Geomorphology

“…These findings imply strong relationships between NAO and Eastern Mediterranean and the Middle East. The results obtained here are also in accordance to that found over Greece (Feidas, et al 2004) and to the strong predictability of North Atlantic mean sea level pressure (NAO) and the Eastern Mediterranean (Eshel, et al 2000, Garcia et al, 2003. The least significant relationships were found between winter temperature and winter NAO (Table 5).…”

“…The variability of winter precipitation at most stations in Turkey significantly correlated with variability of the three indices. Garcia et al (2003) discussed the temperature predictability over the Mediterranean area including Europe to forecast the mean temperature values. They suggest that the NAO can be a major ruling predictability in some areas and NAO is the most important factor influencing temperature predictability over Europe and it is significantly related to NAO.…”
