Abstract
The aim of this paper is to improve the knowledge of the variations of the sea level in the Adriatic Sea in the domains of forced and free oscillations. For this purpose, one-year long-time series of data collected at nine tide gauge stations placed on the eastern shoreline have been collected and processed by spectral analysis. The harmonic constituents have been calculated too. Semidiurnal and diurnal tides have got larger variations of amplitude on the islands than on the coast. The response of the sea level in the domain of synoptic and planetary formations is quite synchronous in the whole Adriatic for periods longer than 3.5 days, with a gap around 9.5 days. These formations excite the sea level first in the North Adriatic, and then, secondly in the Middle and South Adriatic. The seiches occurred at already known periods of 22-23, 10.8 and 7.5-8 hours, and at a new one of about 4 hours. 4 hour seiche occurs in the region inside the Middle Adriatic islands, and it is predominantly influenced by the Sirocco wind forcing.
