Current observations from a looking down vertical V-ADCP: interaction with winds and tide? The case of Giglio Island (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy)

In the context of the environmental monitoring of the Concordia wreck removal\ud project, measurements of currents, winds and sea level height were made along the eastern coast\ud of the Giglio Island, Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy), during 2012—2013. The aim of the study was to\ud investigate the effect of atmospheric forcing and periodic sea-level changes on the coastal\ud currents. Normalised Cross-Correlation Function analysis allowed us to correlate these observations.\ud A marked inter-seasonal variability was found in both current and local wind velocity\ud observations but a significant level of correlation between the data was only found during strong\ud wind events. Current and wind directions appeared to be uncorrelated and current measurements\ud showed a predominant NW—SE direction, presumably linked to the shape and orientation of Giglio\ud Island itself. During strong winds from the SSE, current\ud flow was towards the NNW but it suddenly\ud switched from the NNW to the SE at the end of wind events. The results show that, at Giglio Island,\ud currents are principally dominated by the general cyclonic Tyrrhenian circulation, and, secondly,\ud by strong wind events. The sea level had no effects on the current regime
