Abstract
The present paper is a preliminary study of the long term temperature trends in the eastern Mediterranean area. The air temperature time series of the following stations were investigated: Cairo, Alexandria, Jerusalem, Beirut, Nicosia, Athens, Kerkyra, Catania and Rome. For this group of stations the air temperature trends for about the last 100 years are examined and are compared with the corresponding time series of the land surface air temperature, the sea surface temperature (SST) and the marine air temperature (NMAT) for the northern hemisphere (NH). A better agreement was found between the time series of the eastern Mediterranean region and the SSTs and NMATs, than with the NH air temperature (land surface). The coincidence of the 1900s minimum of eastern Mediterranean air temperature and the SSTs and NMATs especially merits further investigation.
