| Zusammenfassung |
| We investigated coastal sea responses to three, multi-day strong wind
episodes that occurred in the middle Adriatic during the Target Operational
Period (TOP) of the European COastal sea OPerational observing and
forecasting system (ECOOP) project. A high-resolution oceanographic model
(1 km horizontal, 16 σ vertical layers) based on the modified Princeton
Ocean Model (POM) was applied to a highly complex domain located in the
coastal area of the eastern Adriatic Sea. The oceanographic model was nested
into the Adriatic REGional model (AREG-2) covering the entire Adriatic Sea.
Meteorological forcing was prepared by two atmospheric models. The coarser
model was the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecast model
(ECMWF, with horizontal and temporal resolutions of 0.25° and 6 h,
respectively), and the finer one was the Aire Limitée Adaptation
dynamique Développement InterNational model (ALADIN, with horizontal and
temporal resolutions of 8 km and 3 h, respectively, and winds dynamically
adapted to a horizontal resolution of 2 km). The results show that
small-scale atmospheric features, which arise due to the orographically
complex mainland and the number of islands and were not reproduced by the
coarser atmospheric model, substantially affected surface currents, mass
transports, sea surface temperature (SST) and surface salinity in the
coastal area during strong Bora. For strong Sirocco, the atmospheric model's
resolution was important for currents on the lee sides of islands. |
