Long-Term Variations of Air Temperature, SST, Surface Atmospheric Pressure, Surface Salinity and Wind Speed in the Aegean Sea

In this study, temporal and spatial trends of sea surface temperature (SST), wind speed, air temperature, salinity (SSS), sea-level pressure (SLP), SST-based upwelling index are examined compared with data from previous studies. Analyses these parameters performed for five critical locations that best illustrate the characteristic meteorological oceanographic structures Aegean Sea. Upwelling calculations conducted respect to latitude in order reveal variations detect strength easily. Long-term all investigated using long-term ECMWF ERA-Interim covering period 1979 2018; moreover, Copernicus Marine Environment Monitoring Service (Global SSS/SSD L4) is used obtain SSS cover 2000-2015. Linear trend Mann-Kendall tests applied identify tendencies variability. Monthly-average SST exhibit rising over past 40 years. The results also a decreasing speed SLP It hard determine, however, whether current warming natural reaction Earth or not.
