Abstract

Abstract Rotary spectra were computed from wind data collected in the summers of 1978 and 1979 at six stations along the east Adriatic coast. The spectra showed diurnal peaks associated with sea and land breezes and their spatial variability is analyzed in this note. It appears that the energy of sea and land breezes diminishes with latitude. Moreover, the breezes generally turn clockwise, with the exception of the Senj station where a slight predominance of anticlockwise rotation occurs. It is suggested that the Senj breezes are modified by topographically induced flows.
