Time series and spectral analyses are applied to meteorological data (wind velocity, air temperature, barometric pressure) and sea level measurements from a total of 13 monitoring
stations along the Turkish Coast. Analyses of four-year time series identify main time scales
of transport and motion while establishing seasonal characteristics, i.e. distinguishing, for
instance, between winter storms and summer sea-breeze system. Marine flow data acquired by acoustic doppler current profilers (ADCP) is also analyzed to better understand the
response of the Turkish Strait System dynamics to short-term climatic variability. The cumulative results obtained from these analyses determine temporal and spatial scales of coastal atmospheric and marine fluxes as affected by the regional climate system
