WINDS AND WAVES IN ADRIATIC METEOROLOGY
The aquatorium of the east coast of the Adriatic sea from the Savudrija peninsula and the Prevlaka peninsula on its southeastern part belongs to the territory of the Republic of Croatia. That part of Croatia with the coastline of 5790 km belongs to the most rugged coastlines in the world. Croatian islands cover almost all the islands of the east coast of the Adriatic and its middle part, making the second biggest island group in the Mediterranean. There are 1185 islands which are geographically divided into 718 islands, 389 cliffs and 78 reefs. The knowledge about wind and wave characteristics next to the coastline, islands and in the open sea serves as a benefit in maritime economy, shipping industry, fishing, nautical tourism and especially in navigation safety of merchant and passenger ships. The winds at sea which generate windy waves influence the shape and state of the sea surface and sometimes represent an aggravating circumstance in navigation. Weather and climate characteristics along the east coast of the Adriatic change and differ depending on latitude, closeness of hills and mountains to the coast, as well as on air pressure and other dynamic and stationary forms above the Adriatic and its closer and farther spatial surrounding. The paper provides an examination of wind and wave climates in certain locations along the east coast of the Adriatic.
