Özet
This study examines the spatiotemporal evolution of continentality across the Mediterranean region over the period 1950--2023 and explores the relationship between continentality and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO). Using monthly data from the ERA5-Land reanalysis, three distinct continentality indices (Ivanov, Simple, and Sezer) were calculated to capture regional climate dynamics. The results show a generally insignificant increasing trend in continentality for the entire Mediterranean, driven predominantly by the faster rise in summer maximum temperatures compared to winter minimum temperatures in the western sector. In contrast, slight declines occur in parts of the eastern Mediterranean, where winter warming rates partially offset or balance summer warming. Spatial patterns indicate that continentality increases most prominently in areas such as the interior of the Iberian Peninsula and the ...
