Özet
One important of satellite remote sensing is the count of cloudy days of a particular region. Cloud cover hampers radiation received from the sun therefore controls Land Surface Temperature (LST), Sea Surface Temperature (SST) accordingly humidity, evaporation, agriculture, aquaculture, tourism, and other human activities. Present work investigated long term cloud cover and SST of the Mediterranean Sea (MS) using high resolution 6927 daily 206 monthly composite Advanced Very High resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite data from March 1993 to December 2012. The results could give a clue for regional and global climate change to take an action for the feature. The results were discussed as well as the geographical planetary factors that determine the climate of the Mediterranean basin and in the context of global climate change. The results obtained also for other disciplines (climate, meteorology, Oceanography to, Hydrography, Biology, Environmental Science, Agriculture, Aquaculture, Tourism, such as Industry) will create a data source. SST patterns also revealed oceanographic events which was studied in earlier work too.
