Abstract
Using seaβsurface temperature data for the postβwar period, the Mediterranean Sea is divided objectively (principal components factor analysis) into subareas with similar covariances. This division is not the same in every season of the year. In summer, two subareas are found, the west and the east. In spring and autumn three, and in winter four significant subareas denote physical oceanographic and meteorological processes. The scores of the analyses show clearly the minimum of the late 1970s and then the warming of recent years somewhat delayed in the eastern Mediterranean.

## Abstract A climatological analysis of the synoptic scale cyclones that occur in the Mediterranean region is carried out for an extended period of 40 years (1958β1997). The cyclones are identified with the aid of an objective method based on grid point values, available every 6 h. The study of th
A detailed analysis of the spatial and temporal changes in mean seasonal and annual surface air temperatures over the period of instrumental observations in the Arctic is presented. In addition, the role of atmospheric circulation in controlling the instrumental and decadal-scale changes of air temp
