Sažetak
The main cause of long term changes in the Adriatic is the periodic inflow of Mediterranean waters into the Adriaticand the zonal horizontal air pressure gradient over the area. These changes are related and reflect global changes.The advection of Mediterranean waters is not only limited to the Southern Adriatic but influences the Northern Adriatic as well. Advection of the saltier water from the Mediterranean into the Adriatic causes thermohaline properties, which has been demonstrated in both recent and earlier studies along the Split-Gargano transect in the Middle Adriatic. Both oceanographic and meteorological parameters in this region show trends and periodic fluctuations as well. Long term changes of a number of parameters will be shown and their interrelations discussed. The periodically stronger Mediterranean inflow brings nutriemt richer water into the Adriatic which causes fluctuations of some biological parameters like the chlorophyll A production.
