Sažetak
An average daily wind regime along the Northern Adriatic eastern coast has been examined at 10 meteorological stations for summertime sea/ land breeze circulation. The stations considered are Pula-Airport, Opatija, Rijeka, Senj, Malinska, Omišalj, Mali Lošinj, Rab, Zadar and Zadar-Airport. The aim was to examine the frequency, the times of onset and cessation, the average duration of sea/land breezes, and the impact of the Coriolis force on the wind vector rotation at chosen stations. The results are comparable with corresponding studies of mid-latitude locations. For two stations, an anticlockwise rotation has been discovered (Malinska and Senj), while the remaining stations showed a clockwise rotation, which prevails on the northern hemisphere coasts.
