Eulerian models coupling physics and biology provide a powerful tool for the study of marine
systems, complementing and synthesizing in situ observations and in vitro experiments. With …

Marine plankton play a crucial role in carbon storage, global climate, and ecosystem
function. Planktonic ecosystems are embedded in patches of water that are continuously …

Lagrangian particle tracking within ocean models is an important tool for the examination of
ocean circulation, ventilation timescales and connectivity and is increasingly being used to …

The distribution of oceanic biogeochemical tracers is fundamentally tied to physical
dynamics at and below the mesoscale. Since global climate models rarely resolve those …

The last several decades have seen significant advances in fluid–mechanical, waterquality,
and ecological observation systems, as well as in related scientific computing capabilities …

Pelagic organisms' movement and motion of buoyant particles are driven by processes
operating across multiple, spatial and temporal scales. We developed a probabilistic, multi …

Mesoscale eddies affect phytoplankton in several ways, including the horizontal dispersal
and mixing of populations. Coherent eddies trap and contain fluid masses, whereas other …

Coherent vortices characterize the dynamics of large and mesoscale geophysical flows, and
affect material transport in several different ways. Here we show that vortices are one of the …

The ocean transports, mixes, and transforms chemical constituents on a multitude of time
and length scales. Observations and models are both essential for making sense of this …

Fluid flows in the ocean have a strong impact on the growth and distribution of planktonic
communities. In this case study, we applied a Lagrangian eddy detection and tracking tool …
