Seasonal Correlation Between the Atlantic Multiple Oscillation (AMO) and Mediterranean Temperature
Keywords:
Global Warming, Atlantic Multiple Oscillation, Sea Surface Temperature, MediterraneanAbstract
Numerous studies on the surface of the planet have focused on the role that oceans play in the increase in temperatures brought on by climatic changes. This study has primarily emphasized the long-term warming of the Atlantic Ocean and how it affects the seasonal temperature changes of the Mediterranean Sea as a whole as well as its constituent western, central, and eastern areas. In the fall and summer, a substantial positive connection of roughly (Pearson correlation r= 0.69) and (r=0.65), respectively, between the entire Mediterranean Sea and the AMO is evident, but this correlation declines in the spring and winter. Positive correlation increases in the western portion of the Mediterranean and diminishes in some areas as we move closer to the eastern Mediterranean; it reaches a maximum of (r=0.61) to (r=0.57) in the fall and summer seasons, respectively, and declines in the spring and winter. According to the findings, there is a noticeable increase in water temperature in the fall and summer, particularly in the western Mediterranean, which is influenced by AMO.
