Harmful algal blooms (HABs) are generally known as excessive phytoplankton growth or rapidly concentrate to high biomass. This study summarized the situation of HABs in China, and discussed possible dominant factors stimulating algal blooms by analyzing several actual HABs cases. It was manifested nutrients may affect algae concentration principally, but such impact tended to decease with degradation of background water. Meanwhile the hydrological and meteorological factors expressed greater correlation to chlorophyll concentration under multiple coupling effects of complex environmental factors. For the complex mechanisms, the determination of principle factors which stimulate excessive algal blooms effectively still need further researches, which are suggested to conduct under overall considerations on 3 scales: macro dimension, medium dimension and micro dimension.

Many infective agents are transmitted between host bodies through the atmosphere, sometimes over quite considerable distances. Of prime importance to any potential host is whether or not the agents can be carried to it by the wind from a source-host. The paper briefly outlines how air trajectories are determined and indicates the importance and magnitude of crosswind turbulent spreading. The paper also describes the effect of topography and the likely significance of changes in the wind when the emission persists over several days. Rain is another factor that can be very important in leading to secondary infections. However, its sporadic nature presents considerable difficulties for the modeller, and this is illustrated.

The Port of Split is located in the central part of the eastern Adriatic and is the largest Croatian passenger port. The Port of Split consists of the North Port, for the reception of mainly cargo ships, and the City Port for the reception of passenger ships. Although the port is protected from the open part of the Adriatic by a number of islands, its specific spatial position as well as local hydro-meteorological factors, primarily wind, can significantly affect the safety of navigation, and ultimately close all traffic. The entrance to the City Port is facing to the south; accordingly, the effect of southerly winds and waves will be one of the primary factors influencing the safety of manoeuvring. Also, the wider area of Split is characterized by the strong local, approximately NE wind with sudden gusts (‘’Bura’’) which is especially dangerous for navigation. This paper analyses the effect of significant hydro-meteorological factors on the safety of manoeuvring at the approach and within the City Port of Split. The influence of wind, waves, sea current, tides and visibility will be analysed. Also, these factors will be classified in order of importance with respect to those parts of the port where they predominate as a threat to manoeuvring safety. The obtained results should serve as a basis for future defining of limiting working/manoeuvring conditions.
