The middle Adriatic is a transition zone between the northern and the southern sub-basin and is charcterized by fairly open sea conditions. It spans from the 100 m bathymetric line to the Pelagosa sill (\~ 170 m depth), located around the line connecting Vieste and Split. The average depth of the middle sub-basin is \~ 140 m with the two Pomo and Jabuka depressions reaching \~ 270 m.
The southern
section is characterized by a wide depression more than 1200 m deep. The water exchange with the Mediterranean Sea takes place through the Otranto Channel, whose sill is 800 m deep.
The southern sub-basin extends from Pelagosa sill to Otranto sill which divides it from the Ionian Sea. Each of the western and eastern coasts have a narrow continental shelf (20-30 km wide to the shelf break at 200 m depth), a steep continental slope reaching 1000 m and a fairly flat abyssal plain, with a maximum depth of 1270
m (often referred to as m. The water exchange with the
south Adriatic Pit). Mediterranean Sea takes place through the Otranto Channel, whose sill is 800 m deep.
The eastern coast is generally high and rocky, whereas the western coast is low and mostly sandy. A large number of rivers discharge into the basin, with significant influence on the circulation, particularly relevant being the Po River in the northern basin, and the ensemble of the Albanian rivers in the southern basin.
