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 …

This article is a perspective on the recently discovered realm of submesoscale currents in
the ocean. They are intermediate-scale flow structures in the form of density fronts and …

Typical fluid particle trajectories are sensitive to changes in their initial conditions. This
makes the assessment of flow models and observations from individual tracer samples …

Floating oil, plastics, and marine organisms are continually redistributed by ocean surface
currents. Prediction of their resulting distribution on the surface is a fundamental, long …

This work updates the methods of Lumpkin and Johnson (2013) to obtain an improved near-
surface velocity climatology for the global ocean using observations from undrogued and 15 …

Surface drifting buoys, or drifters, are used in oceanographic and climate research, oil spill
tracking, weather forecasting, search and rescue operations, calibration and validation of …

The quantification of coastal connectivity is important for a wide range of real‐world
applications ranging from assessment of pollutant risk to nearshore fisheries management …
