We review statistical analyses of Lagrangian data from the ocean. These can be grouped
into studies involving single particles and those with pairs or groups of particles. Single …

Oceanic transport of heat by ubiquitous mesoscale eddies plays a critical role in regulating
climate variability and redistributing excess heat absorbed by ocean under global warming …

We investigate the performance of standard stochastic models of single-particle dispersion
in two-dimensional turbulence. Owing to the presence of coherent vortices, particle …

The surface transport properties in the Adriatic Sea, a semienclosed subbasin of the
Mediterranean Sea, have been studied using a drifter dataset in the period December 1994 …

We analyze characteristics of drifter trajectories from the Adriatic Sea with recently
introduced nonlinear dynamics techniques. We discuss how in quasi-enclosed basins …

New dynamical systems techniques are used to analyze fluid particle paths in an eddy
resolving, barotropic ocean model of the Gulf Stream. Specifically, the existence of finite-time …

A consistent mathematical formulation of a horizontally anisotropic friction operator is
developed for use as a subgrid-scale turbulence parameterization in ocean general …
