Three possible sources were considered: (1) Albanian rivers, (2) local Croatian rivers, or (3) relatively fresh West Adriatic Current (WAC) waters. Available CTD and ADCP data, together with satellite images indicate that WAC waters are the most likely source. This requires an excursion of WAC water across ...
Analysis of historical data has shown that in the middle Adriatic area strong cyclonic activity supports different weather types in winter, with frequent exchange of Sirocco and Bora events. During summer, this area is under the influence of subtropical high-pressure belt and consequently warm and dry weather conditions prevail. Sea temperatures at various depths of the Split-Gargano transect are characterized by isothermal conditions in late autumn and winter and rather ...
