Pair-separation statistics of in situ and synthetic surface drifters deployed near the
Deepwater Horizon site in the Gulf of Mexico are investigated. The synthetic trajectories …

We construct a Markov-chain representation of the surface-ocean Lagrangian dynamics in a
region occupied by the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and adjacent portions of the Caribbean Sea …

The emergence of coherent Lagrangian swirls (CLSs) among submesoscale motions in the
ocean is illustrated. This is done by applying recent nonlinear dynamics tools for Lagrangian …

Using two-point velocity and position data from the near-simultaneous release of O (100)
GPS-tracked surface drifters in the northern Gulf of Mexico, we examine the applicability of …

This study examines the mesoscale and submesoscale circulations along the continental
slope in the northern Gulf of Mexico at depths greater than 1000 m. The investigation is …

Understanding material distribution at the ocean's surface is important for a number of
applications, in particular for buoyant pollutants such as oil spills. The main tools to estimate …

We construct a climatology of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs)—the concealed
skeleton that shapes transport—with a twelve-year-long data-assimilative simulation of the …

Ocean flows are routinely inferred from low-resolution satellite altimetry measurements of
sea surface height assuming a geostrophic balance. Recent nonlinear dynamical systems …
