An operational surge forecast system based on a combination of a hydrodynamic model and
an artificial neural network is described. The system runs at the centre for sea level …

This book was published in 2004. The Interaction of Ocean Waves and Wind describes in
detail the two-way interaction between wind and ocean waves and shows how ocean waves …

In the long term development of the research on wind waves and their modelling, in
particular of the inner and coastal seas, the present situation is framed with a short look at …

Because of its centrallocation in the Old World, the Adriatic Sea has long been explored and
studied. Modern methods of investigation, however, have accelerated the pace of study …

The development of numerical wave models for coastal applications, including coupling with
ocean circulation models, has spurred an ongoing effort on theoretical foundations …

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 meteorological model of the European Centre for Medium-RangeWeather Forecasts,
run with different resolutions, has been used to explore, with a number of numerical …

Numerical wave models are used for a wide range of applications, from the global ocean to
coastal scales. Here we report on significant improvements compared to the previous …

We have hindcast the wind and wave conditions in the Mediterranean Sea for two one
month periods. Four different meteorological models and three different wave models have …

Hydrographic and current measurements conducted during the period from March 1997 to
March 1999 in the Southern Adriatic and in the Otranto Strait provide clues to the …
