Abstract

Rezultati (vrlo rijetkih) numeričkih studija iako otkrivaju detalje prostorne i vremenske strukture vrtložnog strujanja baziraju se na simulaciji jednog odabranog slučaja u Kvarnerskom zaljevu. Kako se dostupnost mjerenja u zadnjih 20-ak godina povećala, cilj ovog rada je bio iskoristiti postojeća mjerenja Zračne luke Pula, Zračne luke Rijeka i Zračne luke Zagreb da bi se pronašle strukture koje odgovaraju horizontalnom atmosferskom rotoru. Kao rezultat, pokazano je da se „Mohorovičićevi“ rotori mogu identificirati uz pomoć dostupnih mjerenja. Detaljnije su opisane specifičnosti horizontalnog rotora za tri slučaja, gdje je ukazano da su horizontalni rotori dinamična struktura u prostoru i vremenu za čiji nastanak su potrebni specifični vremenski uvjeti zajedno s specifičnom konfiguracijom terena i prisustvom mora. Dostupni nizovi meteoroloških podataka dali su nova klimatska obilježja ovog fenomena što svakako doprinosi širenju saznanja o Mohorovičićevim rotorima i buri u Kvarnerskom zaljevu.

Abstract (english)

The results of (very rare) numerical studies, although revealing details of the spatial and temporal structure of the vortex current, are based on the simulation of a one single case in the Kvarner Bay. As the availability of measurements has increased over the last 20 years, the aim of this master's thesis was to use existing measurements of Pula Airport, Rijeka Airport and Zagreb Airport to find structures that fit the horizontal atmospheric rotor. As a result, it has been shown that "Mohorovičić" rotors can be identified using the available measurements. The detailed characteristics of the horizontal rotor for three cases were described, where it was indicated that the horizontal rotors are a dynamic structure in space and time. To form, specific weather conditions together with a specific terrain configuration and the presence of the sea is required. The available meteorological data sets have provided new climatic characteristics of this phenomenon, which certainly contributes to the spread of knowledge about Mohorovičić rotors and bora within the Kvarner Bay.
