%X The VOS XBT track was established through the cooperation of ENEA and IOF during the ADRICOSM1 period on the Dubrovnik¨CBari route, monthly in the cold season and biweekly in the warm season, and the acquired data were send to the ENEA2 database in near real time. The results presented in this work comprise a compilation of data collected from different sources in the framework of the ADRICOSM project in the South Adriatic region. XBT profiles were compared to oceanographic ship-based measurements from CTDs from the recent cruise. In addition, the recently observed phenomenon of increased productivity of South Adriatic open waters is described and related to deep convection in the region.
