\section{Adriatic Sea morphology and bathymetry}  The Adriatic Sea (Fig. 1) is an elongated basin, with its major axis in the northwest–southeast direction, lo- cated in the central Mediterranean, between the Italian peninsula and the Balkans. Its northern section is very shallow and gently sloping, with an average bottom depth of about 35 m. The middle Adriatic is 140 m deep on average, with the two Pomo Depressions reaching 260 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 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 signif- icant influence on the circulation, particularly relevant being the Po River in the northern basin, and the en- semble of the Albanian rivers in the southern basin. The Adriatic (Fig. 1) is the most continental basin in the Mediterranean Sea (excluding the Black Sea), is enclosed between two mountain chains (Appennini and Balkans) and elongated latitudinal- ly. It has a major axis (oriented from SE to NW) with a length of 800 km and a mean width of 180 km, and is connected to the Ionian Sea by a strait (Otranto) only 74 km wide.
