Description
- Abstract
- DOLCEVITA is an international project focusing on the Adriatic Sea sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). The project spans between October 2001 and September 2004, but its experimental phase is concentrated in the September 2002 - June 2003 time period. DOLCEVITA involves several oceanographers, both experimentalists and modelers, of the United States and Europe. The main objective of the DOLCEVITA project is to quantify the kinematic and dynamic properties of the northern and middle Adriatic (NMA) Sea. In particular the experimental work includes collection data provided by drifters and high-frequency coastal radars.
