Formulated dur<strong>in</strong>g MedCLIVAR scientific meet<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
– Has <strong>the</strong>re been an EMT <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> past?<br />
– Relative role of <strong>the</strong> various phenomena recorded dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> EMT<br />
(exact processes)<br />
– Relative role of atmospheric forc<strong>in</strong>g vs LIW salt anomaly <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
recent WMDW formation<br />
– Relative role of Atlantic <strong>in</strong>flow<br />
– Relative role of Black Sea <strong>in</strong>flow <strong>in</strong> North Aegean formation<br />
– Is <strong>the</strong>re a major climatic / teleconnection feature that expla<strong>in</strong>s<br />
<strong>the</strong> changes <strong>in</strong> trends recorded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> SST / MSL of <strong>the</strong> Med?<br />
– In estimat<strong>in</strong>g MSL trends <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Mediterranean, we need to take<br />
care of <strong>in</strong>homogeneous land vertical motions.<br />
– Connection of EMT to large scale atmospheric patterns?<br />
– Reconstruction of MSL from both tide gauges and altimetry is<br />
possible – m<strong>in</strong>ima <strong>in</strong> 1960s and 1970s might suggest previous<br />
EMT-like EMT like phenomena (this is also supported by heat fluxes, SST<br />
and numerical simulations)<br />
– Evolution of MSL at <strong>the</strong> nor<strong>the</strong>rn African coast<br />
