Abstract
Atmospheric forcing of the Mediterranean sea level extremes is studied in this work. The five stations chosen for analysis are: Valencia, Monaco, Naples, Ravenna and Venice. Analysis is done on residual sea levels which are defined as difference between observed sea level and astronomical tide. Extreme sea level events are further defined as events during which residual sea levels are above their 99.9 percentile estimated separately at each station. In the first part of the research, extreme sea level events during a climatological period of 31 years (1984-2014) are analyzed, including statistics on extremes’ frequency, duration and seasonal distribution. In the second part of the research, synoptic patterns associated with extreme sea level events are determined. Studied synoptic fields include: mean sea level pressure, 10-m wind, 500 hPa geopotential height and pertinent winds. Most events occur during period from October to February at all stations, and their average duration depends on month in which they are recorded. One dominant synoptic field pattern preceding an extreme sea level event emerged for Valencia, and two dominant fields emerged for Monaco, Ravenna and Venice. There was no recognizable synoptic field pattern for Naples.
Abstract (croatian)
U ovom radu opisano je atmosfersko forsiranje koje uzrokuje ekstremne razine mora u Sredozemnom moru. Odabrano je pet postaja za analizu: Valencija, Monako, Napulj, Ravena i Venecija. Analizirane su rezidualne razine mora, koje se definiraju kao razlika između izmjerenih razina mora i plimnih oscilacija. Ekstremni događaji dalje su definirani kao događaji tijekom kojih rezidualne razine mora prelaze 99.9 percentil procijenjen za svaku postaju zasebno. U prvom dijelu istraživanja predstavljeni su rezultati analize razine mora tijekom 31-godišnjeg klimatološkog razdoblja (1984.-2014.), uključujući statistiku učestalosti, trajanja i sezonske distribucije ekstrema. U drugom dijelu istraživanja predstavljeni su rezultati analize sinoptičkih atmosferskih polja povezanih s ekstremno visokim razinama mora. Analizirana sinoptička polja uključuju: prosječni tlak zraka na razini mora, brzinu vjetra na visini od 10 m te geopotencijalnu visinu 500 hPa plohe i pripadne vjetrove. Najviše ekstrema zabilježeno je u razdoblju od listopada do veljače na svim postajama, a njihovo prosječno trajanje ovisi o mjesecu u kojem su zabilježene. Jedan prevladavajući sinoptički uzorak koji prethodi ekstremno visokim razinama mora izdvojen je za Valenciju dok su po dva tipična uzorka uočena za Monako, Ravenu i Veneciju. Tipični sinoptički uzorak nije prepoznat za ekstremne događaje u Napulju.
