The first aircraft observations of the bora in Yugoslavia were accomplished during the ALPEX project in 1982. Data from all five ALPEX bora flights have been analyzed in a comparative study of bora structure. Although the bora varies considerably in depth, in the strength of the incoming low level flow, and in the direction of the winds aloft, several common features are evident. These include: upstream descent and acceleration beginning where the mountains rise; an approximate coincidence between the depth of the uppermost descending streamline and the wind reversal level upstream (when a reversal exists); a decoupling of the flow aloft associated with a splitting of the inversion and the formation of a thick mixed layer downstream; a narrow region of intense turbulence and an ascending jet just downstream of the plunging bora. The bora structure is similar in many respects to the Boulder windstorm. Internal hydraulic theory, taking into account the decoupling effect of the intermediate layer, a...read more

Hydrostatic airflow over mountains
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the hydrostatic airflow over mountains and construct an approximate regime diagram depicting how the nature of mountain-induced flow disturbance depends on the control parameters of the problem.

The Dynamics of Mountain-Wave-Induced Rotors
James D. Doyle,Dale R. Durran +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the development of rotor flow associated with mountain lee waves is investigated through a series of high-resolution simulations with the nonhydrostatic Coupled Ocean-Atmospheric Mesoscale Prediction System (COAMPS) model using free-slip and no-slink lower boundary conditions.

Response of the Adriatic Sea to the bora and sirocco forcing
TL;DR: In this paper, the response of the Adriatic shelf waters to dominant winter winds is analyzed: the bora, which is a cold, katabatic wind blowing from the northeast; and the sirocco, which blows from the southeast and brings warm Mediterranean air.

TL;DR: In this paper, a winter oceanographic field experiment provided an opportunity to examine the atmospheric marine conditions over the northern Adriatic, and the results showed that wind speeds are fastest in jets over the NE coast during bora events and weakest in the mid-northwestern adriatic.

A review of recent advances in understanding the meso‐ and microscale properties of the severe Bora wind

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the boundary layer and waves on the upwind side of the bora evolution and the consequent lee side flow structures are inadequately understood; this is especially so for bora at the southern Adriatic coast.
