3. Meteorological station Split – Marjan; SST station Split Qs: mean daily values calculated based on hourly values; Q l, Q E, Q C calculated based on daily averaged values of meteorological and SST values; all parameters except SST were measured hourly, SST at 07 and 14 h. Missing wind speed in June replaced by daily average from observations at 07, 14, 21 h. using relationship: W = 0,836B **(3/2) W is wind speed in m/s B is value on the Beaufort-scale

4. ITHACA period

5. Monthly mean air temperature, precipitation, net heat and water flux (evaporation – precipitation) computed for Split-Marjan station for the period 1961-1990 and for 2003 and 2006. Vertical bars represent standard deviations for particular month. ITHACA period vs 2003 and climatological mean

6. Surface fluxes will be calculated for all available meteorological and SST values on daily scale (daily average values); STATIONS: Split, Hvar, Komiža, Lastovo, Dubrovnik Based on ALADIN values surface fluxes will be calculated. For the SST field stations values, and/or satellite values will be calculated. AdHOC Adriatic sea Heat and water fluxes – Observation and Calculation. NEXT -......
