  2. Mappa Adriatico

  3. Schematic of the Adriatic Sea General Circulation(from Artegiani et al., 1997)

  4. Position of the stations for the two experiments 9-11 May 1993 6-9 June 1993

  5. Position of the stations for the two experiments. The maps are rotated and converted to a cartesian reference system. 9-11 May 1993 75 CTD casts 6-9 June 1993 82 CTD casts

  6. Cumulative vertical profiles

  7. % sat. O2 Nitrate (µM) Silicate (µM) Depth (m) Vertical profiles in the Western Pomo Pit in the 1993-96 period After a bottom water renewal, in the bottom layer density(not showed) and % of dissolved oxygen saturation decrease while temperature (not showed) and nutrient salts concentration increase

  8. Bottom maps

  9. SW-NE cross-section (May 1993)

  10. SW-NE cross-section (June 1993)

  23. Base June Salinity and velocity 40m

  24. Frc June Salinity and velocity 40m

  25. Wind AMEX ECMWF wind in the AMEX domain. The average intensity in June 1993 (3.4 m/s) was about 20% greater than in May 1993 (2.8 m/s).

  26. Main remarks from the first simulations - Barotropic velocities dominate the Pits area in spring, with currents forming filaments about 10 km wide- Baroclinic field determines the coastal currents, with an evident 5 days oscillation- Wind forcing do not affect the May 1993 simulation, while it is able to reverse the June circulation in the Pits Future Perspectives - Nesting in an Adriatic model to improve boundary conditions- Refinements of meteo forcing (ECMWF reanalyzes, offshore platforms)- Real time regional forecast experiment- Ecosystem studies.
