Abstract

A new data acquisition system is employed at Zadar, eastern Adriatic coast, to measure local coastal and orographic flows during winter-spring 2004/05. Although different data types and measuring philosophy correspond to sodar and radio sounding, through boundary layer these often well relate to each other. The latter depends on the amount and intensity of small-scale variability in the wind stratification. The data comparison is substantiated via
Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) model ALADIN. During synoptical and mesoscale flow forcing a coastal low-level jet (LLJ) often occurs. Further the possibility of LLJ prediction with perationally used NWP model is explored.
