According to the monthly report of the Croatian Meteorological and Hydrographic Service (DHMZ, 2018<\/a>), during night hours of 29-30 October, a northeastward propagating cyclone which originated in the western Mediterranean crossed the Adriatic. An associated pressure drop and strong sirocco wind resulted in flooding of the middle and northern Adriatic: 4th highest Aqua Alta of the measurement period was recorded in Venice (<\/span>Citt\u00e0 di Venezia, Le acque alte eccezionali<\/a>), 1st highest sea level of the measurement period was recorded in Bakar (GFZ, 2018<\/a>), many harbors and boats suffered material damage and extreme waves were observed and recorded throughout the Adriatic (Vijesti RTL, 30\/10\/2018). Although there were no meteotsunami reports, available tide gauge data reveals that a weak meteotsunami occurred in Vela Luka between 20:00-24:00 UTC of 29 October. Maximum wave measured at tide gauge location had a height of 94.0 cm. Associated to this wave was maximum sea level of 63.4 cm recorded at 20:32 UTC, which was also time of a high tide. Mean period of waves was ~12 min.<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Atmospheric and sea level component of the event were also numerically modelled using AdriSC modelling suite (using the Weather Research and Forecast model for the atmospheric component and ROMS\/ADCIRC model for the ocean component), by\u00a0Denamiel et al.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSurface synoptic situation was favorable for generation of storm surges in the northern Adriatic. A mid-latitude cyclone was centered over the western Europe, and strong sirroco wind (> 20 m\/s), was blowing along the Adriatic Sea. At the 850 hPa height, tongue of warm air mass was spreading from the central Sahara, across the eastern Mediterranean to the southern Adriatic. As a result, an upper-level temperature front was present over the Adriatic Sea. At the 500 hPa level, a front side of a deep trough was located over the central Mediterranean and the Adriatic Sea. Associated upper-level winds reached speeds of more than 60 m\/s.
