This report summarises the main results of the physical assessment carried out:

(i) to assess the ongoing trends and variability of different meteo, oceanic and  hydrological parameters on the basin-wide level (northern and central Adriatic area) as gained through various observational techniques,

(ii) to evaluate the existing atmospheric, oceanic and coupled climate models and their results for the Adriatic Sea, 

(iii)  to downscale the climate processes and parameters to the selected case study areas to evaluate the variability and trends of meteo, oceanic and hydrological key processes at each site.

(iv)  to assess the site-specific meteo-ocean-hydrological properties, based on campaigns performed on sites, 

(v) to identify and quantify the key processes that may change the climate setting of the area, including an assessment of their dynamical trends as resulting from the in situ campaigns and regional climate models.
