North Atlantic Oscillation signals in the series of Beyşehir lake-levels (Turkey)
2007 annual AGU hydrology days was held at Colorado State University on March 19 - March 21, 2007. Includes bibliographical references. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) is one of the major sources of interannual atmospheric variability over the Northern Hemisphere. In this study, we examined the...

For the mid-term periodicities, the global spectrum magnitudes of Lake Beyşehir increased from 0.5-year to 10-year scale level. Although the periodicities more than 10-year scale level were detected, explaining significant relations between the NAO and these long-term periodicities remains a challenging task. The secondary cyclogenesis in eastern Mediterranean provides a physical linkage between the NAO (known as a key provider of precipitation to the Middle East region) and climatic surface variables in Turkey.
