We investigated coastal sea responses to three,
multi-day strong wind episodes that occurred in the middle
Adriatic during the Target Operational Period (TOP) of
the European COastal sea OPerational observing and forecasting
system (ECOOP) project. A high-resolution oceanographic
model (1 km horizontal, 16 vertical layers) based
on the modified Princeton Ocean Model (POM) was applied
to a highly complex domain located in the coastal area of the
eastern Adriatic Sea. The oceanographic model was nested
into the Adriatic REGional model (AREG-2) covering the
entire Adriatic Sea. Meteorological forcing was prepared by
two atmospheric models. The coarser model was the European
Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecast model
(ECMWF, with horizontal and temporal resolutions of 0.25
and 6 h, respectively), and the finer one was the Aire Limit´ee
Adaptation dynamique D´eveloppement InterNational model
(ALADIN, with horizontal and temporal resolutions of 8 km
and 3 h, respectively, and winds dynamically adapted to a
horizontal resolution of 2 km). The results show that smallscale
atmospheric features, which arise due to the orographically
complex mainland and the number of islands and were
not reproduced by the coarser atmospheric model, substantially
affected surface currents, mass transports, sea surface
temperature (SST) and surface salinity in the coastal area
during strong Bora. For strong Sirocco, the atmospheric
model’s resolution was important for currents on the lee sides
of islands.
