Satellite IR measurements and re-analysis data for the period of 1982-2004 were used to study the long-term variability
of the winter-mean sea surface temperature in the Black and Aegean seas and its connection with the major large-scale
atmospheric forcing: surface air temperature, surface wind, North Atlantic Oscillation and East Atlantic - West Russia
teleconnection pattern.
Keywords: Black Sea, Aegean Sea, sea surface temperature, long-term variability, atmospheric forcing
