Inverted barometer overshoot and great Adriatic surge of 21 June 1978

On the morning of 21 June 1978 exceptional sea-level oscillations, having a trough-to-crest height of 6 m and a period of 10-20 min, occurred in Vela Luka Bay. Slightly less pronounced variability was observed elsewhere along the east Adriatic coast and, with some delay, along the west coast. In this presentation one of the hypotheses put forward to interpret the event, the one relating it to a mesoscale air-pressure disturbance, is supported by results of the analysis of all the available data and of the runs performed with the state-of-the-art meteorological and oceanographic models.
