摘要
The present paper is a synopsis of the research on the climatic evolution of the Western Mediterranean Sea developed within the MATER programme. The sea surface temperature (SST) evolution during the last glacial period, deglaciation and present interglacial have been examined in detail. Special attention has been focussed to millennial-centennial scale changes related to rapid global climatic oscillations. The results have shown the extreme sensitivity of the Western Mediterranean oceanography to this rapid climatic variability giving rise to amplified climatic signals, e.g. strong SST oscillation, that follow the changes recorded in the North Atlantic Ocean or in Greenland ice. Overall, the Western Mediterranean Sea appears to be an ideal environment for the study of the climatic processes occurring at high and intermediate latitudes. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
