“…The mechanism of gyre formation is well recognized now thanks to the work of Hill et al (1996; and through the relevance to similar structures observed in other parts of the world (e.g. Gulf of California (Lavin et al, 1997), Yellow Sea (Hu et al, 1991) and Adriatic Sea (Rizzoli and Bergamasco, 1983)). …”

“…At CP2, the observed current variability is well explained by the phase-locked tides, while at E4 the variability is still dominated by the tides but with stronger amplitudes and phase offsets. This suggests a contribution from non-phaselocked internal tides at E4, where the water column is stratified by fresh surface water from the Po, whereas at CP2, lying in the basin interior, the water column is mixed from surface to bottom during winter [Rizzoli and Bergamasco, 1983]. .…”

Tidal currents in the northwestern Adriatic: High‐frequency radio observations and numerical model predictions

et al. 2007

[1] A 2-year deployment of high-frequency radio current meters along the Italian coast of the northwestern Adriatic is used to characterize the surface tidal currents. In the middle of the basin, the M 2 and K 1 currents oscillate along the basin axis, but become more circular toward the Italian coast. Comparisons with a 3-D finite-element nonlinear numerical model of the tides show a good agreement for phases in the middle of the basin, although modeled currents amplitudes are overestimated. However, modeled phases lag observed phases by up to 50°(1.7 hours) for M 2 and 100°(6.7 hours) for K 1 , and modeled amplitudes are underestimated, in a 10-20 km wide strip along the Italian coast. This shallow (< 30 m deep) region is stratified by low-salinity surface water from the Po, and laterally sheared by the Western Adriatic Current, both absent from the model but possibly affecting tidal propagation. The model may also incompletely parameterize the combined effects of bottom friction and vertical mixing of momentum.

“…Modeling efforts continued with models of parts of the Adriatic, e.g., the northern Adriatic, during a (homogeneous) ENE bora wind [ Stravisi , 1977], the most frequent wind [ Jeromel et al , 2009], or modeling a region along the Italian coastline in the mid‐Adriatic [ Rizzoli and Bergamasco , 1983] with a 3D (multilevel) model. The coastal area south of the Po River Delta is related to the situation in the northern Adriatic.…”

Topographic control of wind‐driven circulation in the northern Adriatic

2012

[1] Two synoptic wind-driven situations of the circulation in the northern Adriatic were studied using the Princeton Ocean Model over the northern Adriatic Sea (NAPOM). In both situations the basin was driven by a relatively steady wind (>8 m/s) along and across the basin over three days. In the first situation (28-30 October 2008) the SSE southern jugo or scirocco wind blew along the basin, and in the second (19-21 March 2009), the ENE bora wind blew across the basin. Cyclonic turn was present in the first situation, while the cyclonic branch of a known double-gyre circulation north of the strip of wind minima was evident in the second. We show that during the jugo the model does not confirm quantitatively the simple topographic control of a wind-driven circulation, suitable for elongated basins, while qualitatively the model meets expectations, with downwind transport in shallow areas close to shorelines and upwind transport in places with greater depths. During the bora wind, however, the wind-driven circulation in the Gulf of Trieste is well explained by this topographic control (82% of the flux through the transect).Citation: Malačič, V., B.
