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 …

We revisit the challenges and prospects for ocean circulation models following Griffies et al..
Over the past decade, ocean circulation models evolved through improved understanding …

Velocities derived from AVISO sea‐surface height observations, adjusted to be
nondivergent, are used to simulate the evolution of passive tracers at the ocean surface …

Stirring along isopycnals is a significant factor in determining the distribution of tracers within
the ocean. Salinity anomalies on density surfaces from Argo float profiles are used to …

Mesoscale eddies mix tracers along isopycnals and horizontally at the sea surface. This
paper compares different methods of diagnosing eddy mixing rates in an idealized, eddy …

Mixing by mesoscale eddies in the ocean plays a major role in setting the distribution of
oceanic tracers, with important implications for physical and biochemical systems at local to …

Stirring in the neutral (ie, isopycnal) direction drives isopycnal mixing, which acts to
homogenise tracers along the neutral plane. Isopycnal mixing does not directly enter the …
