The mechanism of severe bora wind

A gusty downslope windstorm which blows at the eastern Adriatic coast is called bora. There has been substantial progress in bora observations and measurements, understanding, modeling and its more detailed prediction during the last 25 years. It was generally thought before that bora was a falling, mostly thermodynamically driven wind ; however, (severe) bora is primarily governed by mountain wave breaking. Understandings of bora interactions and influences on other processes have taken place as well, most notably in the air-sea interaction, but are not completed yet. The focus here is on stronger bora flows at the NE Adriatic coast.

Pozvano predavanje održano je u sklopu nastavka suradnje s koleg(ic)ama u Ljubljani, napose s doc. dr. Nedjeljkom Žagar, suradnicom na projektu BORA. Suradnja se odvija i kroz međunarodni projekt EMEP4HR. Rezultati iznijeti u predavanju objavljeni su 2009. godine u znanstvenom radu u časopisu Tellus A kojega citira CC baza u koautorstvu s Danijelom Belušićem (CROSBI 365902).
