West Adriatic coastal water summertime excursion into the East Adriatic
A pool of less saline surface waters has been observed in late June 2006 at the northern edge of the South Adriatic Pit. Three possible sources have been assumed: (1) Albanian rivers, (2) middle Adriatic rivers, or (3) West Adriatic Current (WAC). Through the examination of ADCP data collected within DART and ITHACA projects, and of satellite images, source (3) appears to be the likely culprit. Such an extended excursion is especially surprising as rather low winds and stable conditions prevailed in mid/late June. However, quite strong Etesian winds occurred in first 12 days in June, with a maximum close to the western shore. Therefore, it is suspected that these winds enhanced the WAC and inclined sea level along the western shore, resulting in a transversal eddy-like circulation when the winds later relaxed. These WAC eddies grew and reached middle east-Adriatic waters for about two weeks and were successfully simulated by the Navy Coastal Ocean Model. Finally, we quantify the role of various bathymetrical features on the WAC transversal dynamics through idealized modelling studies.
