Lagrangian analysis is a powerful way to analyse the output of ocean circulation models and
other ocean velocity data such as from altimetry. In the Lagrangian approach, large sets of …

Velocities derived from AVISO sea‐surface height observations, adjusted to be
nondivergent, are used to simulate the evolution of passive tracers at the ocean surface …

Mixing by mesoscale eddies profoundly impacts climate and ecosystems by redistributing
and storing dissolved tracers such as heat and carbon. Eddy mixing is parameterized in …

Stirring along isopycnals is a significant factor in determining the distribution of tracers within
the ocean. Salinity anomalies on density surfaces from Argo float profiles are used to …

Oceanic mesoscale eddies are known to diffuse and stir tracers, and the development of
skillful eddy closures is aided considerably by the accurate diagnosis of these processes …

Mesoscale eddies mix tracers along isopycnals and horizontally at the sea surface. This
paper compares different methods of diagnosing eddy mixing rates in an idealized, eddy …

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 …
