Variability of the Surface Circulation and Temperature in the Adriatic Sea

Abstract

My long-term goals are to contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of marginal seas such as the Adriatic by collecting and interpreting observations of currents and water mass properties (e.g., temperature, salinity, chlorophyll concentration). In particular I am very interested in studying the impact of the wind forcing and fresh water runoffs on the circulation. Also of interest to me is the study of the variability of the surface velocity and temperature fields in the Adriatic at the meso-, seasonal and interannual scales.
