Characteristics of shallow thermally driven flow in the complex topography of the south-eastern Adriatic

Abstract: Abstract. Characteristics of thermally induced flow, namely the sea breeze, are investigated along the south-eastern Adriatic. The chosen period 24-25 April 2006 favoured sea breeze development and simultaneously allowed a comparison of the large-scale wind influence (north-westerly wind versus south-easterly wind) and the complex terrain on the local circulations. Particular attention is paid to the smallscale formation of the wind field, convergence zones (CZs), channelling flows and small scale eddies, espe… Show more

“…This implies the frequent occurrence of thermally induced flows and their interaction with weak Bora wind. Another confirmation for this is the reduction in pressure over the Adriatic during the summer (i.e., weakening of the Azores High) toward the normal (1,013 hPa) values, which sustain the generation of such flows under near‐nongradient pressure conditions (Penzar et al, ; Prtenjak et al, ; Prtenjak & Grisogono, ). Further research focusing on climate change simulations of particular weather types over the Adriatic should be performed to affirm these conclusions.…”

“…According to the synoptic environment, in general, three types of bora winds are defined: "cyclonic bora" (typically, as a result of a cyclone over the Adriatic or Central Mediterranean, e.g., Horvath et al [2008]), "frontal bora" (associated with cold air advection from the higher latitudes, generally, in the southernmost part of the continental cyclone), and an "anticyclonic bora" (caused by the continental anticyclone that affects the Balkan Peninsula often during autumn or winter months). In warm season, SB/LBs occur frequently during at least 50% of all summer days along the eastern Adriatic [Prtenjak and Grisogono, 2007;Prtenjak et al, 2010b]. The SB/LB is a component of the local coastal circulation system that blows landward (SB) during daytime hours because of the greater temperature (pressure) difference between the sea and nearby land.…”
