The problem of chaotic advection of passive scalars in the ocean and its topological,
dynamical, and fractal properties are considered from the standpoint of the theory of …

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 …

This book is a summary of our 18-year period of joint work in the field of vortex dynamics in a
stratified rotating fluid under INTAS 94-3614 (1995–1997), INTAS/AIRBUS 04-80-7297 …

Recent efforts in the time series analysis of nonlinear data have been focused upon the
search for low-dimensional chaos in a wide variety of physical systems, both driven …

В последнее десятилетие методы теории динамических систем стали активно
применяться в физической океанографии для описания транспорта и перемешивания …

Pending an appropriate scaling of each trajectory by its Lagrangian integral timescale TL,
there exists a generic shape of the Lagrangian frequency spectrum for the trajectories of the …

Drifters are used to measure the structure of an eddy on Western Bank, Scotian Shelf over a
5 day period. A regression method that uses both the temporal and spatial structure of flow …

Transport and mixing processes in a broad and shallow estuary in Louisiana,
Terrebonne/Timbalier Basin, are examined using a depth-integrated two-dimensional …

The extent to which results from the study of chaotic low‐order dynamical systems might give
insight into the process by which passive tracers are laterally mixed in midocean regions is …

We study the dynamics of passively advected Lagrangian tracers undergoing small vertical
oscillations around an horizontal reference density surface, in an Eulerian velocity field …
