“…The shoreline is affected by the descending flow of the Adriatic marine current (Artegiani et al, 1997) and is subject to winds, frequently blowing from the NNW and the ESE directions, which influence the wave patterns. Therefore the shoreline is subject to higher waves (about 5 m), blowing from a NE direction, as consequence of low-frequency storm waves.…”

Erosion affects about 25% of the coast of the Apulia region, with the severest consequences being along sandy coastlines. Beach retreat is mainly due to the decrease of solid material transport, the destruction of dune deposits and the building of docks that obstruct the longshore current. A survey was conducted around Capitolo, the main sandy coastline near Bari, to examine the hazards affecting beaches and to provide guidelines for the management of human activities along the coasts. The survey was carried out along a coastal stretch of about 3 km, extending in a South Easterly direction from 178 21 ′ 30 ′′ E, 408 54 ′ 20 ′′ N to 178 23 ′ E, 408 53 ′ 40 ′′ N. The map, at a scale of 1:3000, shows three levels of hazard, determined as follows: (i) the state of preservation of the dunes and watercourses, based on the geomorphological map of the Apulia region; (ii) data collected from July 1989 to April 2008 by the Monopoli buoy of the National Wave Measuring Network; (iii) the shoreline change rates computed within a geographic information system (GIS). A matrix was established taking into account of these features, weighting each parameter in order to develop a hazard-level measurement for shoreline lengths of about 25 meters. The results show that all Capitolo beaches have a high level of shore preservation hazard. The results of this study should be a factor in any decisions made on the management of the present day village, both existing commercial activities and the future development of the area.

“…After May 10, the ADCP record is dominated by strong baroclinic inertial oscillations that are probably associated with the seasonal increase in water column stratification. Artegiani et al (1997a) citing the method of Anati (1977) determined that the ocean season of winter for the Adriatic is from January through April. Therefore, the first interval of data from mooring N will be referred to as the winter period, although almost all of January is absent.…”

“…During autumn the whole water column appears to be cooler than the corresponding pro"le obtained from the data. The lower autumn temperatures are probably due to the missing e!ect of the subsurface Mediterranean Levantine Intermediate Water, entering the Adriatic from the Otranto Strait, which corresponds to a net heat import into the basin (Artegiani et al, 1997a).…”

A biomass-based ecological model is presented here for the Adriatic Sea. The hydrodynamical part is composed of the Princeton Ocean Model, while the European Regional Seas Ecosystem Model describes the biogeochemical processes. An idealized Adriatic basin geometry has been used, with perpetual year seasonal cycle forcing the hydrodynamics and river-borne nutrient input forcing externally the biogeochemical processes. The simulation results highlight the role of the physical processes in determining and maintaining some of the nutrient and phytoplankton biomass distribution and characteristics in the basin. The characteristics of the phytoplankton seasonal cycle have been found to depend, in order of priority, on the river-borne nutrient input and physical horizontal and vertical processes.
