Abstract
Analysis is presented of a bora case on 12-18 April 1982, characterized by the longest bora duration in Senj (138 hours) during the ALPEX-SOP. The bora was observed only on the northern Adriatic. The vertical wind and stability profiles indicate that the part of the upstream inversion layer decoupled and descended toward the sea which is confirmed in the aircraft data analysis (Smith, 1987). The
application of the generalized hydraulic theory on the continuously stratified atmosphere showed that the theory can successfully explain the bora phenomenon in the postfrontal bora situation.
