Abstract
Water flow in the inlets of Grado and Lignano of the Marano- Grado Lagoon system was measured between July 2010 and September 2011, to study the water exchange between the lagoon and the Adriatic Sea. The average magnitude of the flow is about 500 mm/s in Grado and 400 mm/s in Lignano. The tidal forcing accounts for about 90% of the variability, with the semi-diurnal M2 and S2 contributing over 75%. They behave almost in phase with Lignano leading Grado by about 20 seconds. K1, the strongest diurnal constituent, contributes 7.4% to the energy, and shows a phase difference of about 10 minutes with the Grado response leading Lignano. Adriatic Seiches are found with periodicities of 21.14, 10.92, 7.04, 5.24, 4.29 and 3.59 hours, accounting for most of the non-tidal energy.
