Abstract The US East Coast has 1.7 million acres of federal bottom under lease for the
development of wind energy installations, with plans for more than 1,500 foundations to be …

A dataset of 85 Lagrangian surface drifter trajectories covering the central North Sea area
and the Skagerrak from 2017–2021 of 17 deployments is presented. The data have been …

The impact of offshore constructions on the marine environment is unknown in many
aspects. The application of Al-and Zn-based galvanic anodes as corrosion protection results …

We examine the relative dispersion and the contribution of tides on the relative diffusivities of
surface drifters in the North Sea. The drifters are released in two clusters, yielding 43 pairs …

This study investigates the effects of wind–wave processes in a coupled wave–ocean
circulation model on Lagrangian transport simulations. Drifters deployed in the southern …

During an experiment-of-opportunity in July 2019, 27 drift bottles were released in the
southern Baltic Sea. Ten of these bottles were found and reported at locations that were …

One key challenge of marine monitoring programs is to reasonably combine information
from different in situ observations spread in space and time. In that context, we suggest the …

Backward drift simulations can aid the interpretation of in situ monitoring data. In some
cases, however, trajectories are very sensitive to even small changes in the tracer release …

How a pair of pollutant parcels deviates from each other with an initial separation distance r
0, known as relative dispersion or Richardson dispersion, is relevant in many circumstances …

Surface dispersion properties give an immediate characterization of the spreading of
passive and active tracers in the ocean, like pollutant and marine species. The …
