The Adriatic Sea surface temperature variability via EOF/wavelet analysis of the AVHRR data

Fourteen years of five-day averaged medium-resolution (9.3km) Adriatic remotely sensed SST fields is analysed with a view to better discern their spatial and temporal variability. The EOF analysis is employed to derive orthogonal spatial patterns, and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) applied to EOF-derived principal component time series. The first EOF mode revealed dominant spatial patterns, carrying prominent part of the total variance in both time- and space-demeaned cases (98.5% and 66% respectively). The time series of band-integrated principal components has provided revealing insights into intra- and inter-annual variability.
