 | Three representative cases studies on the effect of bora wind episodes (1.5-2 days duration with wind speeds over 10 m s-l) on surface water pCO2 and 02 in the coastal Northern Adriatic are presented, and in all three studied cases, regardless of pre-bora conditions, pC02 suddenly increases by 30-50 muatm a few hours after the onset of bora. We estimate that these winds increased the flux of CO2 from the ... |

| A high-resolution numerical model of the Adriatic Sea is used to predict Lagrangian coherent structure boundaries, quantified by finite-size Lyapunov exponents (FSLE), for flow features in the region of the Gargano Peninsula during the course of the Dynamics of the Adriatic in Real Time (DART) observational program. FSLE fields computed from two-day model forecasts of the surface velocity indicate distinct regions of high relative drifter dispersion. Model predictions of such ... |

|
| Numerical simulations of the Adriatic Sea were conducted with the Navy Coastal Ocean Model during the Adriatic Circulation Experiment in the fall and winter of 2002/2003, and results were compared with observations. The ocean model used a I-km resolution grid over the entire Adriatic Sea. Model forcing included atmospheric fluxes from the Coupled Ocean-Atmosphere Mesoacale Prediction System (COAMPS), tides, boundary conditions from a global model, and freshwater river and runoff ... |

| Continuous acoustic travel-time measurements from a two-dimensional array of pressure-gauge-equipped inverted echo sounders spanning the entire Ulleung Basin of the southwestern Japan/East Sea between June 1999 and July 2001 are used to examine the upper temperature and current patterns. A new method, referred to as the Residual GEM Technique, interprets the travel-time data into a three-dimensional (x, y,p) time-series of daily, synoptically mapped current and temperature fields. During the two-year ... |

| Records from 16 current meters and 23 pressure gauges moored near the sea floor in the Ulleung Basin of the southwestern Japan/East Sea (JES) characterized the deep circulation between June 1999 and July 2001. Mean currents range from 1 to 4 cm/s and deep pressure anomalies range from 3 to 10 mbar, with horizontal correlation scales of about 40km, and with integral time scales that range from about S to ... |
