Abstract EN

This research studies the number of Trans-Mediterranean Depressions without passing through Iraq, whether formed over the Atlantic Ocean and did not pass through Iraq, or those formed over the Mediterranean Sea and did not pass through Iraq.

It is done by the analysis of weather maps of the surface and upper levels and of the night observations (0Z) for the two cycles (1950-1961) and (2009-2020) and calculating the amount of the difference between the two cycles to know the impact of climate change on that.

It also aims to know the reasons that hindered the progress of the Mediterranean depressions and deviated their path, whether the Siberian high, the European high, or the tropical high at the surface level and the accompanying phenomena At higher levels, whether the transverse waves, grooves, or dents are at the level (500) millibars, or the semi-polar jet stream at the level (300) millibars, or the semi-tropical jet stream at the level (200) millibars.
