A gusty downslope windstorm that blows at the eastern Adriatic coast is called bora. Similar
winds exist at many other places on virtually all continents. Related hourly mean wind …

The Mediterranean basin features a semi-enclosed sea, where interactions and feedbacks
between the atmosphere and the Sea at various temporal and spatial scales play a …

The quality of surface winds derived from four meteorological models is assessed in the
semi-enclosed Adriatic Sea over a 2-month period: a global hydrostatic model ECMWF T511 …

The article reviews the most recent findings on the interdisciplinary characteristics of the
Mediterranean Sea shelf areas, from the Northern to the southern shelf regions. First of all a …

The effect on waves of the Wave–Current Interaction (WCI) process in the semi-enclosed
Gulf of Venice (northern region of the Adriatic Sea) was investigated using the Coupled …

A fully coupled regional climate system model (CNRM-RCSM4) dedicated to the
Mediterranean region is described and evaluated using a multidecadal hindcast simulation …

Mesoscale atmospheric modeling over the Red Sea, validated by in‐situ meteorological
buoy data, identifies two types of coastal mountain gap wind jets that frequently blow across …

This study investigates the onset phase of a strong Adriatic bora windstorm that occurred on
4 April 2002. The target area is a gap about 20 km wide embedded in the coastal mountain …

A recent advance in the Coupled Ocean–Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System
(COAMPS) is described and used to study two-way air–sea coupling and its impact on two …

Sediment dispersal in the Adriatic Sea was evaluated using coupled three‐dimensional
circulation and sediment transport models, representing conditions from autumn 2002 …
