| Zusammenfassung |
| Statistics of transit and residence times in the Adriatic Sea surface, a
semi-enclosed basin of the Mediterranean, are estimated from drifter data and
Lagrangian numerical simulations. The results obtained from the drifters are
generally underestimated given their short operating lifetimes (half life of
∼40 days) compared to the transit and residence times. This bias can
be removed by considering a large amount of numerical particles whose
trajectories are integrated over a long time (750 days) with a statistical
advection–dispersion model of the Adriatic surface circulation. Numerical
particles indicate that the maximum transit time to exit the basin is about
216–260 days for particles released near the northern tip of the Adriatic,
and that a particle entering on the eastern Otranto Channel will typically
exit on the other side of the channel after 170–185 days. A duration of 150–168
days is estimated as the residence time in the Adriatic Basin. |
