“…Collaboration with chemists, biologists, fishery scientists and geologists was established, resulting in number of interdisciplinary papers dealing with climate and circulation impact on the ecosystem variability (Skejić et al, 2014;Sikora et al, 2014;Gašparović et al, 2013;Gordijan et al, 2013;Viličić et al, 2013;Zorica et al, 2013;Carić et al, 2012;Kršinić and Grbec, 2012;Morović et al, 2012;Vidjak et al, 2012;Viličić et al, 2011). The laboratory of Physical Oceanography at the Institute of Oceanography and Fisheries, Split, in cooperation with the State Hydrometeorology Institute of Croatia, has established a virtual laboratory (http://www.izor.hr/web/ guest/virtual-laboratory) in order to study interactions between climate change and the marine ecosystem through monitoring of a variety of physical parameters in the atmosphere, the sea and at the air-sea interface.…”
