CURRENTS
Surface circulation of the Adriatic Sea can be described as a cyclonic meander with the north-west-going current along the eastern shore and the south-east-going current along the western shore. General current system is modulated seasonally. Higher-frequency current variability can be of high intensity due to the wind, and it is weakly influenced by tidal currents. Typical current speeds are below 0.5 knots. (See Peljar I)
