We characterize horizontal mixing and transport structures in the surface circulation of the
Mediterranean Sea, as obtained from a primitive equation circulation model. We calculate …

The multi-scale and nonlinear nature of the ocean dynamics dramatically affects the
spreading of matter, like pollutants, marine litter, etc., of physical and chemical seawater …

In light of the increasing number of drifting buoys in the ocean and recent advances in the
realism of ocean general circulation models toward oceanic forecasting, the problem of …

We analyzed and compared 17 yr of monthly settlement indices of postlarvae of the
Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus, at two locations on the Mexican Caribbean coast …

We study three dimensional (3D) oceanic Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) in the
Benguela upwelling region obtained from an output of the regional ocean modeling system …

Six surface drifters (drogued at about 1 m depth) deployed in the inner German Bight (North
Sea) were tracked for between 9 and 54 days. Corresponding simulations were conducted …

Lagrangian measurements provide a significant portion of the data collected in the ocean.
Difficulties arise in their assimilation, however, since Lagrangian data are described in a …

The increasing realism of ocean circulation models is leading to an increasing use of
Eulerian models as a basis to compute transport properties and to predict the fate of …

Topological entropy of a dynamical system is an upper bound for the sum of positive
Lyapunov exponents; in practice, it is strongly indicative of the presence of mixing in a …
