Sažetak
In this chapter regional climate conditions are described in terms of the properties and behavior of the atmospheric circulation over and around the Mediterranean region (MR) The aim is to study the relationships between the atmospheric circulation and the surface environment and identify key dynamical interactions that are involved. In this sense the content of this chapter belongs to the general topic of synoptic climatology (see Huth et al, 2009 for a short discussion). Specifically this chapters describes which are the teleconnection patterns influencing the MR (section 1), the characteristics of the cyclones in the MR and their links to large-scale patterns (section 2), the synoptic circulation conditions leading to temperature and precipitation extremes (section 3 and 4, respectively), the storminess characteristics leading wind extremes: wind and dust storms, storm surges and waves.
