The northern sub-basin is characterized by a shallow average depth of \~ 35 m with a very weak bathymetric gradient toward south-east where the 100 m bathymetric line is met in front of Giulianova (Italy). Po and the other northern Italian rivers contribute to a strong river runoff (\~ 3000 m3 s-1) and are believed to be the source of about 20\% of the total Mediterranean river runoff (Hopkins, 1992).  The middle Adriatic is a transition zone between the northern and the southern sub-basin and is charcterized by fairly open sea conditions. The average depth of the middle sub-basin is \~ 140 m with the two Pomo Depressions reaching \~ 270 m. This central zone It  spans from the 100 m contour bathymetric line  to the Pelagosa sill (about (\~  170 m depth), located around the line con- necting connecting  Vieste and Split. It The average depth of the middle sub-basin  is characterised by two depressions, \~ 140 m with  the two  Pomo (or Jabuka) Pits, having a maximum depth of about 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 the south Adriatic Pit).
