Case Study

Meteorological perspective of a Meteo Tsunami on Island Losinj in the Adriatic Sea

On 15 August 2008, at about 17 UTC, a sea wave flooded the harbor of Mali Losinj on the island Losinj in the northern Adriatic. The flood was about 50 to 80 cm high above the ground what, together with the height of the ground above mean sea level, gives the wave height (trough-to-crest) of more than 2 m. This study is aimed to show that the flooding was caused by a Meteo Tsunami.
