Abstract
In this study, the relationship between monthly temperature changes of stations located on the southern coast of Iran and the teleconnection patterns was investigated. The minimum and maximum monthly temperature data of 11 synoptic stations and 14 teleconnection patterns of the Atlantic and tropical Pacific Oceans over 1985-2024 were used. The possible relationship between the two temperature components in the studied stations and these patterns was calculated using Pearson correlation analysis, analysis of variance, and regression analysis, and the spatial distribution of the correlation was plotted. The results showed that the highest percentage of correlation between the Pacific Ocean patterns and the minimum and maximum air temperatures of the coasts was with the AMO patterns (0.56), NTA (0.46), AMO (0.76), and ONI (-0.63) patterns, respectively. About 16-56 percent of the minimum temperature changes and 6-31 percent of the maximum temperature changes of the stations were explained by the teleconnection patterns. The NINO3, ONI (Tropical Pacific) and AMO (Atlas) models are more effective in explaining the minimum temperatures of the stations and the NINO3, AMO and AMM models are more effective in explaining the maximum temperatures of the stations. The highest frequency of significant correlations between the minimum temperatures of the stations was observed in January with TNA, in February with AMO and TNA, in March with NAO, in Orville with TSA, in June with WHWP, in July with TSA, in August with TNA, in September with WHWP and AMO, and in May, October, November and December with AMO.
