	Adriatic Sea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Adriatic Sea is an arm of the Mediterranean Sea separating the Italian peninsula from the Balkan peninsula, and the system of the Apennine Mountains from that of the Dinaric Alps and adjacent ranges.
		The deepest part of the sea lies east of Monte Gargano, south of Dubrovnik, and west of Durrës where a large basin gives depths of 900 m (500 fathoms) and upwards, and a small area in the south of this basin falls below 1,460 m (800 fathoms).
		The islands, which are long and narrow (the long axis lying parallel with the coast of the mainland), rise rather abruptly to elevations of a few hundred feet, with the exception of a few larger islands like Brač (Vidova gora, 778 m) or the peninsula Pelješac (St. Ilija, 961 m).

		The Adriatic Sea (ancient Adria or Hadria) (Serbo-Croatian Jadransko more, Slovenian Jadransko morje, Latin Mare Hadriaticum) is an arm of the Mediterranean Sea separating the Apennine peninsula (Italy) from the Balkan peninsula, and the system of the Apennine mountains from that of the Dinaric Alps and adjacent ranges.
		The Adriatic extends northwest from 40° to 45° 45' N., with an extreme length of about 480 miles (770 kilometers), and a mean breadth of about 100 miles (160 kilometers), but the Strait of Otranto, through which it connects at the south with the Ionian Sea, is only 45 miles wide.
		The northern part of the sea is very shallow, and between the southern promontories of Istria and Rimini the depth rarely exceeds 25 fathoms.

		The Adriatic spans from the Balkan to the Apennine peninsula.
		Except for the cleanliness of the sea, another important quality of the coastal area is its biological and geographical particular quality, which can be seen in the number of species of plants and animals, and in the high number of endemic species (for example human fish).
		The salinity of the Adriatic Sea is 38.30 permill averagely, i.e.

		In the Summer the differences between the north and south are much smaller- both sides of the Adriatic are combined into one climate territory with a lot of warm and sunny days, high daily temperatures which get softened by a pleasant landward breeze, low percentage of humidity and not to hot nights.
		The temperature of the sea surface is between 24oC and 26oC on the entire Adriatic.
		The waves in the Adriatic are not as high as the ones in the oceans, but that does not mean that they can't be unpleasant for smaller boats.

	Istria on the Internet - Aquaculture
		Depths in the northern and central Adriatic are generally less than 75 m, with a large shelf; depths in the southern Adriatic average 100m, extending to 300 m in the Pomo Pit.
		The northern and central Adriatic are subject to strong annual thermal variation, especially in the surficial layers of the water, ranging from 5 to 28 degrees C at the surface and 12 to 17 degrees C at the bottom.
		The northern Adriatic produces 250,000 mt of catch per year of the Mediterranean's 1,000,000 mt. The northern Adriatic's shallow shelf favors the use of "grazing" gear (e.g., trawling, mid-water trawling, dredging for bivalve molluscs, and beam-trawling for flatfish) primarily in international waters and along the Italian coast.

	Mesoscale Dynamics in the Northern and Middle Adriatic Sea
		Mesoscale motions in the form of fronts, jets, meanders and eddies are ubiquitous across the Adriatic Sea, and it is presumed that they play a crucial role in several regions, especially along the Croatian coast where the topography is particularly rugged and in the region of the Po River plume where buoyancy forces are large.
		The Adriatic Sea is replete with mesoscale variability, as seen in SST and chlorophyll-a satellite pictures:

	www.dalmacija.net - Dalmatia ::: Attractions / Adriatic Sea
		The development of a variety of types of tourism in the Croatian Adriatic region has been most favoured by hydrogeological formation of the coastal relief, in which limestone and dolomite are predominant, enabiling formation of an extremely indented coast with many bays, covers, peninsalas and capes, creating a variety of contrasting and diversifying landscaped.
		The investigations were carried out on the whole area of the Adriatic belonging to the Republic of Croatia on the sea samples taken from 732 permanent locations in 1996.
		Owing to this fact, in the March issue for 1996 ADAC has brought out the test results of sanitary quality of the sea for the coastal and insular regions of the Adriatic within the Republic of Croatia, which is no doubt, regarding the results of this investigations, significant promotional asset of Croatian tourism.

		Bora--Adriatic Sea: Cold, north to northeast katabatic wind flowing through mountain passages into the Adriatic Sea east of Italy (similar to Bora--Aegean Sea).
		Bora-Adriatic Sea develops in the winter when cold polar air builds over the Balkans and flows katabatically through the valleys of the Dinaric Alps and into the Adriatic Sea.
		As shown, Bora--Adriatic Sea flow is generally confined to the Adriatic Sea area, as the Alps to the north, and the Apennines to the west, channel the flow southwestward.

	Major, Minor and Trace Elements in Surficial Sediments from the Open Adriatic Sea: A Regional Geochemical Study, ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Results indicate that major, minor and several trace elements are strongly related to the catchment geology, their distribution being essentially controlled by the type of sediments.
		However, the majority of trace elements are believed to have been introduced into the Adriatic from the riverine inflows that are also affected by the impact of industrial, mining and urban wastes.
		The regional distribution patterns are influenced by the counter-clockwise system of the Adriatic Sea currents which carry these elements away from the riverine inflows.

	PHYSICAL OCEANOGRAPHY OF THE ADRIATIC SEA - Preface
		As a result of this renaissance, the Adriatic Sea and its sub-basins are currently the object of intensified scrutiny by a number of scientific teams, in Europe and beyond.
		Its objectives were to assess the current knowledge of the oceanography of the Adriatic Sea, to review the newly acquired observations, to create synergy between model simulations and observations, and to identify directions for future Adriatic oceanography.
		For example, the Adriatic Sea is divided in three basins according to their main topographic and dynamical features: northern, middle and southern.

	EO Newsroom: New Images - Storms Stir the Adriatic Sea
		Overnight, the storm moved north to Italy and the Adriatic Sea.
		In the wake of the storm, the waters along the Italian coastline are a milky green where the wind-tossed waves have churned the water, bringing sediment from the sea floor to the surface.
		Thick clouds of sediment hang in the shallow waters of the Gulf of Venice, but are dissipated in the deeper waters of the Adriatic.

	Citebase - Mass balance of trace metals in the Adriatic Sea
		The Adriatic Sea appeared to be a source of dissolved Cu, Mn and Fe for the Mediterranean Sea through the Strait of Otranto whereas for dissolved Zn and Pb the Adriatic Sea appeared to be a net sink.
		This was related to diagenetic processes involving the utilisation and solubilisation of Mn and Fe oxides, which occur in the surface of the sediment in the northern Adriatic Sea.
		In the central Adriatic Sea, remobilization of Mn and Fe was less than in the northern Adriatic Sea, suggesting that diagenesis processes appear deeper in the sediment.
