Sažetak
Oceanographic (currents, sea temperature, salinity) and meteorological (air temperature, air pressure, humidity) parameters were measured at two locations in the northern Adriatic in the period from 1978 to 1986. Several episodes with strong wind were selected from the whole data set and classified according to season. Effect of seasonal variability of hydrographic parameters on the wind induced currents was analyzed. Beside time series analysis, wind induced currents were also simulated by nonlinear three-dimensional hydrodynamic numerical model in the characteristic seasonal density fields. Generating forces in the numerical simulations, beside wind, were heat and water fluxes. Empirical data and the results of numerical simulations, show the existence of strong currents above seasonal thermocline.
