Mesoscale eddies affect phytoplankton in several ways, including the horizontal dispersal
and mixing of populations. Coherent eddies trap and contain fluid masses, whereas other …

Abstract Pelagic Sargassum in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) plays an important role in ocean
biology and ecology, yet our knowledge of its origins and transport pathways is limited …

The mass arrival of pelagic sargassum is an international issue that is currently taking its toll
on the economic activity of affected regions by causing a significant reduction in investment …

During the past decade, massive inundations of holopelagic Sargassum spp.(S. natans I, S.
natans VIII, and S. fluitans III), commonly known as sargasso, have drastically affected …

By analyzing a time-homogeneous Markov chain constructed using trajectories of
undrogued drifting buoys from the NOAA Global Drifter Program, we find that probability …

Consistent with satellite‐tracked trajectories of drogued drifters, but at odds with Eulerian
assessment of satellite‐altimetry measurements of sea‐surface height, we show that North …

Although numerous studies on Eulerian mesoscale eddies with closed contours of sea
surface height (SSH) or streamline have been conducted in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM), a …

Inertial particles in stably stratified flows play a fundamental role in geophysics, from the
dynamics of nutrients in the ocean to the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere. We …

A recent Maxey–Riley theory for Sargassum raft motion, which models a raft as a network of
elastically interacting finite size, buoyant particles, predicts the carrying flow velocity to be …

Sargassum events have been an increasingly influential phenomenon in the Caribbean
region in recent years, with correspondingly growing attention from news and social media …
