Zusammenfassung |
There is growing understanding that recent deterioration of the Black Sea
ecosystem was partly due to changes in the marine physical environment. This
study uses high resolution 0.25° climatology to analyze sea surface
temperature variability over the 20th century in two contrasting regions of
the sea. Results show that the deep Black Sea was cooling during the first
three quarters of the century and was warming in the last 15–20 years; on
aggregate there was a statistically significant cooling trend. The SST
variability over the Western shelf was more volatile and it does not show
statistically significant trends. The cooling of the deep Black Sea is at
variance with the general trend in the North Atlantic and may be related to
the decrease of westerly winds over the Black Sea, and a greater influence
of the Siberian anticyclone. The timing of the changeover from cooling to
warming coincides with the regime shift in the Black Sea ecosystem. |
