The Zagreb scientists, Josip Goldberg in particular, and research of the Adriatic Sea

(in Croatian)

Abstract

The activity of S. Brusina and his contemporaries, who laid down the foundation of modern oceanographic investigations in Croatia in the latter half of the 19 th century, is described in the paper. Circumstances which led to organization of the first Croatian research cruises in Kvarner Bay in 1913 and 1914 are then analysed in some detail. Finally, the paper concentrates on J. Goldberg, on the investigation of the Bakar Bay seiches which he carried out with collaborators in 1936, and on the way he influenced oceanographic research performed after World War II.
