The paper aims to describe the preconditioning and observations of exceptionally high salinity values that were observed in summer autumn 2017 Adriatic. encompassed CTD measurements carried out along well-surveyed climatological transect Middle Adriatic (the Palagruža Sill, 1961–2020), Argo profiling floats several glider missions, accompanied with satellite altimetry operational ocean numerical model (Mediterranean Forecasting System) products. Typically, subsurface maximum, lower than...
Measurements performed in winter 2002/2003 and spring 2003 off the east Adriatic coast showed that East Current (EAC) peaked January/February (as expected from previous findings) again May (not expected). The first maximum corresponded with considerable cross‐shore variability of seawater properties, colder, fresher water prevailing close to coast, warmer, saltier dominating open sea. second coincided massive intrusion warm, saline south Adriatic. Meteorological hydrologic forcing was...
Oceanographic parameters, such as sea surface temperature, chlorophyll-a concentration, ice height, etc., are listed Essential Climate Variables. Therefore, there is a crucial need for persistent and accurate measurements on global scale. While in situ methods tend to be continuous, these qualities difficult scale spatially, leaving significant portion of Earth’s oceans seas unmonitored. To tackle this, various remote sensing techniques have been developed. One the more prominent ways...
Interannual variability of the primary production in middle Adriatic Sea for period 1961–2002 was examined and correlated to various atmospheric oceanographic parameters. The sequential t -test analysis regime shift (STARS) method locally-weighted scatter plot smoothing (LOWESS) were applied production, revealing new with significantly different mean productivity ranging from 1980–1996. Moreover, this highest consists two distinguished sub-periods: periods increasing (1980–1986) decreasing...
Abstract. The paper investigates the wintertime dynamics of coastal northeastern Adriatic Sea and is based on numerical modelling in situ data collected through field campaigns executed during winter spring 2015. were with a variety instruments platforms (acoustic Doppler current profilers, conductivity–temperature–depth probes, glider, profiling float) are accompanied by atmosphere–ocean ALADIN/ROMS system. research focused dense-water formation (DWF), thermal changes, circulation, water...
Considering the role of phytoplankton in functioning and health marine systems, it is important to characterize its responses a changing environment. The central Adriatic Sea, as generally oligotrophic area, suitable environment distinguish between regular fluctuations those caused by anthropogenic or climatic influences. This study provides long-term perspective assemblage eastern with 14 years continuous time series data collected at two coastal offshore stations. predominant groups were...
Abstract. A study was conducted on the climatological characteristics of fog and mist at Pula Airport in northeastern Adriatic, using statistical machine learning approaches. The utilized meteorological data from Airport, along with satellite sea surface temperature (SST) two coastal areas west east airport, to gain insights into influence formation. To identify weather patterns associated occurrence mist, wind mean level pressure (MSLP) fifth-generation reanalysis (ERA5) European Centre for...
Abstract. Unusual weather conditions over the southern Europe and Mediterranean area in 2003 significantly impacted oceanographic properties of Adriatic Sea. To document these changes, both atmosphere sea, anomalies from normal climate were calculated. The winter was extremely cold, whereas spring/summer period warm. air temperature June more than 3 standard deviations above average. On other hand, precipitation river runoff low between February August. response sea remarkable, especially...
Abstract Bacteria are an active and diverse component of pelagic communities. The identification main factors governing microbial diversity spatial distribution requires advanced mathematical analyses. Here, the bacterial community composition was analysed, along with a depth profile, in open Adriatic Sea using amplicon sequencing 16S rRNA Neural gas algorithm. performed analysis classified sample into four best matching units representing heterogenic patterns composition. observed...
In 1962, a series of in situ primary production measurements began the Adriatic Sea, at station near island Vis. To this day, over 55 years monthly through photic zone have been accumulated, including close to 3000 different depths. The are conducted six-hour period around noon, and average rate extrapolated linearly day length calculate daily production. Here, non-linear model is used correct these estimates for potential overestimation due linear extrapolation. assimilation numbers...
Abstract By combining qualitative 16S metabarcoding and quantitative CARD-FISH methods with neural gas analysis, different patterns of the picoplankton community were revealed at finer taxonomic levels in response to changing environmental conditions Adriatic Sea. We present results a one-year study carried out an oligotrophic environment where increased salinity was recently observed. have shown that initial state structure changes according is expressed as changes. A general pattern...
Abstract Background Aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs are metabolically highly active, diverse and widespread polyphyletic members of bacterioplankton whose photoheterotrophic capabilities shifted the paradigm about simplicity microbial food chain. Despite their considerable contribution to transformation organic matter in marine environments, relatively little is still known community structure ecology at fine-scale taxonomic resolution. Up date, there no comprehensive ( i.e. qualitative...
Presence and habitat preference of two pelagic fish species— Mola mola Ranzania laevis —are investigated from all available records obtained in the Adriatic 1781 up to today. Absence systematic investigations is overcome by relating their occurrences long-term meteorological oceanographic data sets representing local conditions processes. Seasonal interannual distributions these species are significantly different point a possible causes appearance. On seasonal scale almost findings M. ,...
