Abstract To prevent the outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), many countries around world went into lockdown and imposed unprecedented containment measures. These restrictions progressively produced changes to social behavior global mobility patterns, evidently disrupting economic activities. Here, using maritime traffic data collected via a network Automatic Identification System (AIS) receivers, we analyze effects that COVID-19 pandemic measures had on shipping industry, which...
A winter oceanographic field experiment provided an opportunity to examine the atmospheric marine conditions over northern Adriatic. Mean February winds are from a northeasterly direction most of Adriatic and more northerly along western coast. Wind speeds fastest in jets NE coast during bora events weakest mid‐northwestern Diurnal air temperature cycles smallest on largest midwestern The maximum sea‐air difference is +10°C eastern near zero Boras (from) wind that sweep off Croatia Slovenia,...
Abstract. In this paper we document dense water formation throughout the Adriatic shelf and coastal area in January/February 2012, resulting record-breaking densities observed during after event. The unprecedented generation was preconditioned by a dry warm year which resulted significant reduction of freshwaters, superimposed on long-term basin-wide salinity increase. final event that triggered an extended period cold weather with strong severe winds. Record-breaking potential density...
Microplastic research has mainly concentrated on open seas, while riverine plumes remain largely unexplored despite their hypothesized importance as a microplastic source to coastal waters. This work aimed model accumulation of particles (1–5 mm) emitted by the Po River over 1.5 years. We posit that river-induced adjacent coasts can be predicted using (1) hydrodynamic-based and (2) remote sensing-based modelling. Model maps were validated against sampling at nine beaches, with sediment...
In November 2011, an Atlantic depression affected the Mediterranean basin, eventually evolving into a Tropical-Like Cyclone (TLC or Hurricane, usually designated as Medicane). region by Medicane, mean sea level pressures down to 990 hPa, wind speeds of hurricane intensity close eye (around 115 km/h) and intense rainfall in prefrontal zone were reported. The this event, together with its long permanence over sea, suggested suitability paradigmatic case for investigating sensitivity numerical...
The coasts of the Mediterranean Sea are dynamic habitats in which human activities have been conducted for centuries and feature micro-tidal environments with about 0.40 m range. For this reason, settlements still concentrated along a narrow coastline strip, where any change sea level coastal dynamics may impact anthropic activities. In frame RITMARE Copernicus Projects, we analyzed light detection ranging (LiDAR) Earth Observation data to provide estimates potential marine submersion 2100...
Wind forcing plays a key role in controlling the water column structure and circulation northern Adriatic Sea. Through shipboard observations numerical modeling, we have documented changing of oceanographic features before, during, after sequence cold northeasterly bora wind pulses that occurred during stratified conditions late September 2002. High‐resolution meteorological, hydrodynamic, wave model outputs were related to situ hydrologic parameters, dissolved nutrients oxygen, suspended...
Abstract. Sea surface temperature (SST) and turbidity (T) derived from Landsat 8 (L8) imagery were used to characterize river plumes in the northern Adriatic (NAS) during a significant flood event November 2014. Circulation patterns sea salinity (SSS) an operational coupled ocean-wave model supported interpretation of plumes' interaction with receiving waters among them. There was good agreement SSS, T, SST fields at sub-mesoscale mesoscale delineation major plumes. L8 30 m resolution also...
Abstract In this paper, an observational space–time ensemble of sea surface elevations is investigated in search the highest waves state. Wave data were gathered by means a stereo camera system, which was installed on top fixed oceanographic platform located Adriatic Sea (Italy). Waves measured during mature state with average wind speed 11 m s −1 . By examining ensemble, 3D wave groups have been isolated while evolving 2D space and grabbed “when where” they close to apex their development,...
Maritime surveillance (MS) is crucial for search and rescue operations, fishery monitoring, pollution control, law enforcement, migration national security policies. Since the early days of seafaring, MS has been a critical task providing in human coexistence. Several generations sensors detailed maritime information have become available large offshore areas real time: radar 1950s automatic identification system (AIS) 1990s among them. However, ground-based radars AIS data do not always...
The objective of this work is to gain new insight on the variability and offshore export turbid coastal waters in Adriatic Sea, which are optically classified as Case 2 waters. This done by means 1998–2004 SeaWiFS ocean color products (chlorophyll, flags light attenuation coefficient at 490 nm, k ) NOAA AVHRR sea surface temperature. role wind‐driven circulation redistribution above features also analyzed both seasonal interannual time scales particular wind current situations occurring...
