Wind-driven currents in the channel area; an example of the Zadar and Pašman Channels (east Adriatic coast)

The paper deals with the response of the channel area to the different wind forcings. For that purpose current measurements were performed in the channels Zadarski kanal and Pa{manski kanal. Basic statistic, spectral and system analysis and low-pass filter have been applied on the data, and the results have been verified by numerical model. The interesting results are eddies appearing at the wider entrance of the channel Zadarski kanal, both detected from the data and achieved by the model.
