Transit and residence times in the Adriatic Sea surface as derived from drifter data and Lagrangian numerical simulations

Statistics of transit and residence times in the Adriatic Sea surface, a semi-enclosed basin of the Mediterranean, are estimated from drifter data and Lagrangian numerical simulations. The results obtained from the drifters are generally underestimated given their short operating lifetimes (half lif...
