Sažetak
An unusual drop of the bottom temperature coupled with southeasterly currents has been observed in August 2004 in the open northern Adriatic. It is hypothesised to be a result of a leakage of bottom dense water generated in the previous winter and blocked by the cyclonic Adriatic circulation. The breakout has been initiated by a storm appearing violently over the open northern Adriatic and lasting for a couple of hours. The storm has been reproduced using COAMPS atmospheric model. The physical generator of the breakout (wind stress, wind stress curl and divergence, fluxes) is being currently investigated through process-oriented ocean modelling studies.
