Abstract The Gulf of Mexico ecosystem is a hotspot for biological diversity and supports a
number of industries, from tourism to fishery production to oil and gas exploration, that serve …

This paper reviews physical mechanisms, observation techniques and modelling
approaches dealing with surface currents on short time scales (hours to days) relevant for …

2015: Improved surface velocity and trajectory estimates in the Gulf of Mexico from blended …

The well-lit upper layer of the open ocean is a dynamical environment that hosts
approximately half of global primary production. In the remote parts of this environment …

Impacts of Convergence on Structure Functions from Surface Drifters in the Gulf of Mexico in:
Journal of Physical Oceanography Volume 49 Issue 3 (2019) Jump to Content Jump to Main …

Fronts and eddies identified with aerial guidance are seeded with drifters to quantify
submesoscale flow kinematics. The Lagrangian observations show mean divergence and …

Abstract The Taylor Energy Site is located in the vicinity of the Mississippi Delta region over
the Northern Gulf of Mexico (NGoM). Surface oil patches have been persistently observed …

Near-inertial oscillations (NIOs) are important for maintaining turbulent mixing that affects
ocean circulation, biogeochemistry, and climate. The spatial and temporal variability of NIOs …

Predicting ocean transport has many practical applications ranging from search and rescue
operations to predicting the spread of oil, debris, and biogeochemical tracers, yet trajectory …

Triangle shape metrics are analyzed to quantify the evolution of submesoscale (100–500 m
initial separation) surface drifter triplets released in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The …
