Deducing an upper bound to the horizontal eddy diffusivity using a stochastic Lagrangian model

DF Carlson, E Fredj, H Gildor, V Rom-Kedar - Environmental fluid …, 2010 - Springer
We present a method for estimating the upper bound of the horizontal eddy diffusivity using
a non-stationary Lagrangian stochastic model. First, we identify a mixing barrier using a …

Representing phytoplankton aggregates in biogeochemical models

I Kriest, GT Evans - Deep Sea Research Part I: Oceanographic Research …, 1999 - Elsevier
We show how to represent changes in the distribution of size and sinking speed of marine
particles by a two-parameter model. In contrast to fully size-resolved models, this …
