Strong downslope windstorms often occur in the Liguria Region. This part of North-Western Italy is characterised by an almost continuous mountain range along its West-East axis consisting of Maritime Alps and Apennines, which separate the Padan Plain to the North from the Mediterranean Sea to the South. Along this mountain range many valleys occur, frequently perpendicular to the mountain range axis, where strong gap flows sometimes develop from the top of the mountains ridge to the sea. In the framework of the European projects "Wind and Ports" and "Wind, Ports, and Sea", an anemometric monitoring network made up of 15 (ultra)sonic anemometric stations and 2 LiDARs has been realised in the three main commercial ports of Liguria. Thanks to this network two investigations are herein carried out. First, the wind climatology and the main statistical parameters of one Liguria valley have been studied through the analysis of the measurements taken along a period of 4 years by the anemometer placed at its southern exit. Then, the main characteristics of two strong gap flows that occurred in two distinct valley of Liguria are examined. Both these studies focus, on the one hand, on the climatological and meteorological characterisation of the downslope wind events and, on the other hand, on their most relevant quantities that can affect wind engineering problems.

순천만 갯벌에서 3차원 초음파풍속계로 바람과 기온을 측정하고, 적외선 센서를 이용하여 이산화탄소 농도를 측정하였다. 일반적으로 기온이 증가하면 대기 중의 이산화탄소 농도가 증가하고, 기온이 감소하면 이산화탄소도 감소한다. 그러나 일몰 직후에는 광합성이 줄어들기 때문에, 기온이 감소함에도 이산화탄소 농도는 증가하였다. 또한 갯벌이 해수로 덮이게 되는 고조기에는 기온 증가에도 불구하고 대기 난류가 강하게 나타나 이산화탄소 농도가 감소하였다. 이산화탄소의 농도 변화에 미치는 갯벌 생태계의 광합성과 호흡 그리고 대기 난류의 영향에 대한 정량적 평가가 필요하다.
