Winter phytoplankton blooms in the offshore south Adriatic waters (1995–2012) regulated by hydroclimatic events: Special emphasis on the exceptional bloom of 1995 Mirna Batistić, Damir Viličić, Vedrana Kovačević, Nenad Jasprica, Héloise Lavigne, Marina Carić, Rade Garić, and Ana Car Biogeosciences Discuss., https//doi.org/10.5194/bg-2017-205,2017 Manuscript under review for BG (discussion: open, 0 comments) Contrary to earlier statements winter bloom is typical of the open South Adriatic. Its intensity depends on different water masses that enter the Adriatic, synergy of regional meteorology and mixing processes that affect these water masses. More intense blooms have occurred under certain hydroclimatic conditions: the East Mediterranean Transient (EMT), extreme winters, and reversal years that switch between anticyclonic and ciclonic circulation in the Ionian Sea.
