Abstract
This paper deals with the bora wind effect on the Adriatic Sea circulation as simulated by a 3-D numerical code (the DieCAST model). The main result o f this forcing is the formation of intense upwellings along the eastern coa st in agreement with previous theoretical studies and observations. Differe nt numerical experiments are discussed for various boundary and initial con ditions to evaluate their influence on both circulation and upwelling patte rns.
