Sažetak
A high-resolution, three-dimensional finite element tidal model of the Adriatic Sea [Janekovic et al., Estuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science 57 (2003): 873-885] has been refined to still better resolve the well-developed eastern coast, as well as to include seven major harmonics. The tidal constants for 31 Adriatic gauge station was used in the assimilation procedure aimed at deriving optimal open boundary conditions. The extensive ADCP current-meter data set collected at 14 Adriatic Circulation Experiment (ACE) stations and 4 West IStria Experiment (WISE) stations is used for a thorough validation of the Northern Adriatic tidal current field predicted by the model. The comparison is focused on the two dominant harmonics, M2 and K1, although both individual and seven-harmonics runs have been done. It has revealed excellent agreement between observed and modeled tidal ellipse parameters, except at three stations where more pronounced discrepancy in ellipse orientation in particular has been identified.
