Abstract. Differences between meteorological fields over the Adriatic Sea as predicted
by the mesoscale meteorological model ALADIN/HR and global ECMWF model, for
sirocco episodes between November 2002 and September 2003, are analysed.
Results indicate that the orography, namely Gargano Mountains and Apennines,
may have a significant effect on the sirocco airflow. A brief discussion is
given on the impact of the sirocco wind curl on the Western Adriatic Current
(WAC).
