Because of its centrallocation in the Old World, the Adriatic Sea
has long been explored and studied. Modern methods of
investigation, however, have accelerated the pace of study during
the last decade. These are the ADCP currentmeter, satellite
imagery, drifter technology, and, last but not least, the computer
with its arsenal of tools for data analysis and model simulations.
As a result of this renaissance, the Adriatic Sea and its
sub-basins are currently the object of intensified scrutiny by a
number of scientific teams, in Europe and be yond. Questions
concerning the mesoscale variability that dominates regional
motions, the seasonal circulation of the sea, and its long-term
climatic role in the broader Mediterranean, have become topics of
lively discussions. The time was ripe then when an international
workshop dedicated to the physical oceanography of the Adriatic Sea
was convened in Trieste on 21-25 September 1998. Its objectives
were to assess the current knowledge of the oceanography of the
Adriatic Sea, to review the newly acquired observations, to create
syn ergy between model simulations and observations, and to
identify directions for future Adriatic oceanography. This book,
however,is not the mere proceedings of the workshop. It was written
as a monograph synthetizing the current knowledge of the physical
oceanography of the Adriatic Sea, with the hope that it will serve
as a reference to anyone interested in the Adriatic. The book also
identifies topics in need of additional inquiry and proposes
research directions for the next decade.
