WATER TRANSPORT VARIABILITY IN THE AEGEAN SEA AND ITS CONNECTION WITH NORTH SEA CASPIAN PATTERN (NCP)
Öz
The relationship between water transport in the Aegean Sea and the North Sea Caspian Pattern (NCP) index is investigated. Calculated meridional mass transport in the Aegean Sea, a possible proxy for the Eastern Mediterranean Transient (EMT), shows significant correlation with the NCP index, especially in winter. It was found that the EMT may have happened during the consistent positive phase of the NCP index. Two different wind regimes corresponding to the positive and negative phases of the NCP suggest that atmospheric condition defined by NCP over the Euro-Mediterranean region may play significant role to trigger the EMT event
