We review statistical analyses of Lagrangian data from the ocean. These can be grouped
into studies involving single particles and those with pairs or groups of particles. Single …

Starting from the foundations of elementary kinematics and assuming some familiarity of
Eularian fluid dynamics, this book reviews the classical and new exact solutions of the …

We examine the relative motion of pairs and triplets of surface drifters in the Gulf of Mexico.
The mean square pair separations grow exponentially in time from the smallest resolved …

Flow turbulence properties are of utmost importance for the optimization of mixing in stirred
vessels. A new experimental-theoretical framework is developed to study such turbulence …

Horizontal and vertical motions associated with mesoscale (10–100 km) and submesoscale
(1–10 km) features, such as fronts, meanders, eddies, and filaments, play a critical role in …

Two alternative particle image velocimetry (PIV) methods have been developed, applying
laser light sheet illumination of particle-seeded flows around marine organisms. Successive …

Understanding how ocean currents affect larval transport is crucial for understanding
population connectivity in sessile marine invertebrates whose primary dispersal opportunity …

Relative dynamic heights and geostrophic fields were derived from TOPEX/Poseidon
altimetry data and then used to track mesoscale eddies over the Subtropical Countercurrent …

Marine population connectivity involves organism movement and interactions in oceanic
and coastal settings. It is essential for biodiversity by aiding genetic diversity, species …

Worldwide bivalve aquaculture is expanding rapidly. Simultaneously, there has been a loss
of natural bivalve reefs due to anthropogenic activities. As bivalve reefs support several …
