Two Different Circulation Systems Produced By Wintertime Buoyancy Forcing Of The Adriatic
Measurements performed in winter and spring 2003 showed that - contrary to the expectations - the East Adriatic Current (EAC) peaked in January/February and again in May. The first maximum corresponded with the considerable cross-shore variability of hydrographic properties, the second one coincided with the massive intrusion of warm, saline water. Meteorological and hydrological forcing was anomalous over the measurement interval: during winter 2003 the cooling and river outflows were strong, during spring 2003 the pronounced warming was combined with exceptional dryness. In order to interpret the two EAC maxima a simple numerical model of the Adriatic-Mediterranean system has been developed. It was found that the first maximum could be related to the coastal freshwater input and offshore evaporation in the Adriatic area, and that the second maximum was probably due to the surface cooling of the Adriatic while warmer conditions prevailed above the Mediterranean. Thus, two circulation systems developed, one inside the Adriatic, the other between the Adriatic and the Mediterranean, and they differed not only in spatial but also in temporal scales, therefore supporting the occurrence of two EAC maxima.
