Numerical modelling is a key tool in understanding and determining the sources, trajectories and fates of micro-plastic debris (MPD). In this study, we introduce TrackMPD, a new …
Lagrangian particle trajectory models based on several altimetry‐derived surface current products are used to hindcast the drifter trajectories observed in the eastern Gulf of Mexico …
Validation of oil spill forecasting systems suffers from a lack of data due to the scarcity of oil slick in situ and satellite observations. Drifters (surface drifting buoys) are often considered …
Lophelia pertusa reefs are vulnerable deep‐sea ecosystems and their ecological integrity partly depends on the connectivity and availability of suitable habitat. Moreover, connectivity …
Maritime search and rescue (MSR) play a significant role in Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS). However, it suffers from scenarios that the measurement information is inaccurate due to …
We study the impact of the Ekman currents and Stokes drift on the surface horizontal transport and mixing properties of the Mediterranean Sea. Finite Size Lyapunov Exponents …
The ocean is a central element of the Earth system and dominates the global water, energy and carbon cycles (Abram et al. Citation 2019; von Schuckmann et al. Citation 2019) …

High-frequency (HF) coastal radars measure current velocity at the ocean surface with a 30– 100 km range and 1–3 km resolution, every 0.25–1 h. HF radars are well suited to many …

An important part of establishing a prediction model for maritime search and rescue and oil spill drift is to quantify the uncertainty in particle motion simulation. A regional Sub-grid …
