---------------------------------

*DATASET-NAME: Near-shore current and wave data collected within EVOLINE project

*TIME-PERIOD: From 17 September 2002 to 15 Jannuary 2004.

*GEOGRAPHIC-COVERAGE: Buoy position: 45° 39.10' N - 013° 06.40' E

*PROJECT: EVOLINE (EVOlution of coastal LINE)

*PARAMETERS: Pressure, Current Speed and Direction, Temperature.

*INSTRUMENTS: Moored acoustic doppler current meter AANDERAA RCM9 MKII and Communication Technologies pressure wave gauge.

*SUMMARY: The EVOLINE project aims to study the coastal erosion acting in the Northern Adriatic area (along Bibione and Lignano coast). It is founded by Friuli-Venezia-Giulia Local Government to provide meteo-oceanographic conditions to Civil Protection Center in Palmanova (Udine). The complete experimental activity is based on a Datawell Directional Waverider (DWR), the meteo-oceanographic MAMBO2 buoy and the PAGODA instrumental set-up (the near-shore station).
Both the current meter and wave meter are positioned on the sea bottom and are self-recording. The data are backed-up periodically. This operation requires the intervention of a diver.
