Coastal and estuarine ecosystems are heavily influenced through floating debris pollution.
This often leads to low-quality coastal water and a negative impact on ecosystem health …

Hyperbolic points and their unsteady generalization–hyperbolic trajectories–drive the
exponential stretching that is the hallmark of nonlinear and chaotic flow. In infinite-time …

While more rigorous and sophisticated methods for identifying Lagrangian based coherent
structures exist, the finite-time Lyapunov exponent (FTLE) field remains a straightforward …

The problem of augmenting low-resolution ocean circulation models with the information
extracted from the data relevant to the unresolved subgrid processes is addressed. A highly …

In this study, we investigated the transport of contaminants in the southern tip of Manhattan,
New York City, under prevailing wind conditions. We considered a hypothetical contaminant …

Deformation flows are the flows incorporating shear, strain and rotational components.
These flows are ubiquitous in the geophysical flows, such as the ocean and atmosphere …

The computation of Lagrangian coherent structures typically involves post-processing of
experimentally or numerically obtained fluid velocity fields to obtain the largest finite-time …

We have presented here a clearly formulated algorithm or semi-analytical solving procedure
for obtaining or tracing approximate hydrodynamical fields of flows (and thus, videlicet, their …

This study provides a long-term description of the poleward East Madagascar Current (EMC)
in terms of its observed velocities, estimated volume transport, and variability based on …

Uncertainties in velocity data are often ignored when computing Lagrangian particle
trajectories of fluids. Modeling these as noise in the velocity field leads to a random …
