19. Conclusions   Succesful experiment with 29 of 30 thermistors recovered,   Lastovo data compared with THC2 measurements,   Diurnal oscillations intense at Lastovo (up to 8°C in the middle of July 2006 between 16 and 24 m), but also present at certain depths at Biševo and Sušac,   Inertial oscillations at all three locations, especially strong at Lastovo (almost 9°C at the beginning of August 2006 at 16 m),   Other energy maxima also noted: - semidiurnal at Biševo between 32 and 40 m, close to the surface at Sušac (up to 12 m) and between 8 and 20 m at Lastovo; - a noteworthy 10.2-h oscillation at Sušac (36 and 40 m), and an 8-h oscillation between 8 and 20 m at Lastovo,   Wind influence appears to be very significant, separation between wind and tidal forcing needs to be done.
