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 …

There have been discussions of scaling up offshore seaweed cultivation and sinking it
exclusively for carbon sequestration ('ocean afforestation') and thereby help mitigate climate …

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

A high‐resolution coupled ocean‐wave‐atmosphere model (Uppsala University Coupled
model, UU‐CM) of the Baltic Sea and the North Sea with improved representation of ocean …

A free‐floating oil spill experiment (two oil types) in the open ocean is described, and the
results from slick characterization through integrated analysis of drift simulations with remote …

We examine the relative dispersion and the contribution of tides on the relative diffusivities of
surface drifters in the North Sea. The drifters are released in two clusters, yielding 43 pairs …

The evaluation and consideration of the mean flow in wave evolution equations are
necessary for the accurate prediction of fluid particle trajectories under wave groups, with …

Many human activities rely on accurate knowledge of the sea surface dynamics. This is
especially true during storm events, when wave‐current interactions might represent a …

The water following characteristics of six different drifter types are investigated using two
different operational marine environmental prediction systems: one produced by …

This study investigates the effects of wind–wave processes in a coupled wave–ocean
circulation model on Lagrangian transport simulations. Drifters deployed in the southern …
