| Abstract |
|
The thermoaline circulation of the central-north Adriatic basin is investigated by means of a 3D numerical model. Three different runs, where the surface heat fluxes annual average are respectively negative, slightly positive and slightly negative are performed. Results confirm that surface heat fluxes alone can start and trigger the general circulation in the basin, both vertical and horizontal: when the heat fluxes have negative annual budget (meaning that, on average, the basin loses heat to the atmosphere) an horizontal cyclonic surface circulation is generated with a northward flow along the eastern coast and a southward return current system along the western one; while from the vertical point of view an antiestuarine circulation is established. A similar circulation pattern is present if the heat fluxes have a slightly negative annual budget and the residence time becomes minimum. If the annual balance is positive the surface circulation switches from cyclonic to anticyclonic and the vertical circulation switches from antiesturine to estuarine. A modification in the heat fluxes budget is strictly connected with a change in the turnover time of the water column in the Jabuka Pit. Added by: Dott. Alessandro Meggiato |
