Three different data sets of numerical drifters are obtained with degrading the time sampling
(1 day, 1 month and 1 year) of the Eulerian velocity field computed from a Mediterranean …

Current numerical methods for simulating biophysical processes in aquatic environments
are typically constructed in a grid-based Eulerian framework or as an individual-based …

We explore the horizontal stirring of a passive tracer field in the vicinity of an isolated, finite
amplitude, quasigeostrophic, β-plane eddy. We consider stirring in the presence of a uniform …

Background Tracing Lagrangian trajectories is a powerful tool for understanding and
diagnosing motion in both the atmosphere and ocean. They can prove useful for extracting …

Being one of the most outstanding hydrodynamic processes at ocean margins, upwelling is
not only a key factor controlling bioproduction but also acts as a driving mechanism for …

A single-layer, reduced-gravity, double-gyre primitive equation model in a 2000 km× 2000
km square domain is used to test the accuracy and sensitivity of time-dependent Eulerian …

In the framework of Monitoring by Ocean Drifters (MONDO) project, a set of Lagrangian
drifters were released in proximity of the Brazil Current, the western branch of the subtropical …

We present an independent validation of the satellite surface velocity fields released by the
ESA Data User Element GlobCurrent Project. The validation methodology is based on the …

Abstract The Southwestern Atlantic (SWA) is characterized by its large Eddy Kinetic Energy
as the result of the confluence of two major western boundary currents, the northward …

We show that the potential vorticity diffusivity predicted by linear stability analysis (LSA), is
the same as a linearized version of Lagrangian cross-stream isopycnal diffusivity. Both can …
