Diurnal thermocline oscillations driven by tidal flow around an island in the Middle Adriatic
Description: Oceanographic data is analysed in order to detect and interpret different physical processes in the Adriatic shelf break area. The analysis confirmed that significant correlation between tides and thermocline oscillations existed at certain monthly periods. It revealed that even in areas subjected to micro-tides, large amplitude waves could be generated. [Source: Journal of Marine Systems]
