Marine plastic debris floating on the ocean surface is a major environmental problem.
However, its distribution in the ocean is poorly mapped, and most of the plastic waste …

Lagrangian analysis is a powerful way to analyse the output of ocean circulation models and
other ocean velocity data such as from altimetry. In the Lagrangian approach, large sets of …

With the increasing number of data produced by numerical ocean models, so increases the
need for efficient tools to analyse these data. One of these tools is Lagrangian ocean …

The ocean engine of NEMO is a primitive equation model adapted to regional and global
ocean circulation problems. It is intended to be a flexible tool for studying the ocean and its …

OpenDrift is an open-source Python-based framework for Lagrangian particle modelling
under development at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute with contributions from the …

During the 1950s and 1960s, an extensive field study and interpretive effort was made by
researchers, primarily at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, to sample and understand …

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

Using a protocol of numerical experiments where horizontal resolution is progressively
increased, we show that small-scale (or sub-mesoscale) physics has a strong impact on …

As ocean general circulation models (OGCMs) move into the petascale age, where the
output of single simulations exceeds petabytes of storage space, tools to analyse the output …

Ichthyop is a free Java tool designed to study the effects of physical and biological factors on
ichthyoplankton dynamics. It incorporates the most important processes involved in fish early …
