| Abstract: | Observational data from the Roshydromethydrometeorological stations for 1978–2017, global meteorologicalnetwork, and objective analysis and reanalysis (NOAA) are used to studythe interannual variability of sea surface temperature and airtemperature in the coastal and marine areas of the Okhotsk, Japan,Yellow, East China, and South China seas at the modern stage of thewarming. Based on the EOF, cluster, and correlation analysis, thespatiotemporal pattern of temperature variations is analyzed and thezoning of sea areas according to the features of modern climate changeis performed. The possible cause-and-effect relationships between thesechanges and the variations in wind components and climate indices areinvestigated. The studies revealed, specified, and quantified the moderntrends and regional features of interannual variability of thermalconditions in the distinguished areas. |
