Statistical approach to wind induced currents in the Northern Adriatic
Valter Krajcar
Sažetak
Wind induced currents in the Northern Adriatic were analysed from a
statistical point of view based on a 10 year long meteorological data set and
a large amount of current-meter data measured in the same period at two
stations. More than a hundred Bora and Sirocco episodes were averaged to
typical Bora and Sirocco episodes. Using principal component analysis (PCA)
it was found that the first four modes explain more than 80% of the total sea
current variability. The first two modes describe about 50% of the current
variability. There is a significant response of the first mode to Bora forcing
and the second mode to Sirocco forcing, in good agreement with an earlier
numerical model.
