Measurments of water circulation in marina Opatija-Croatia

The circulation of water between a harbor and the connecting sea is generally the result of natural parameters such as local tidal range, wind conditions, wave climate and water density differences (Fischer, 1979, Shwartz, 1988, Nece, 1984, Falconer, 1991). Depending on the geographical location, one or more of these variables can dominate the exchange properties of a harbor. This paper presents site measurements conducted in marina Opatija(Croatia) during 40 days of winter period. These measurements make able to get an insight in real processes, i.e. wind influence, which is hard to produce in a laboratory ; the influence of wave actions and some other phenomena that could be observed only in nature.
