We review how ocean currents are measured (in both Eulerian and Lagrangian
frameworks), how they are inferred from satellite observations, and how they are simulated …

Oil spills may have devastating effects on marine ecosystems, public health, the economy,
and coastal communities. As a consequence, scientific literature contains various up-to-date …

The Lagrangian separation distance between the endpoints of simulated and observed
drifter trajectories is often used to assess the performance of numerical particle trajectory …

A realistic hindcast simulation of the Salish Sea, which encompasses the estuarine systems
of Puget Sound, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, and the Strait of Georgia, is described for the …

In this paper we use MEDSLIK-II, a Lagrangian marine surface oil spill model described in
Part 1 (De Dominicis et al., 2013), to simulate oil slick transport and transformation …

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 …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) pose a significant threat to human and marine organism
health, and negatively impact coastal economies around the world. An improved …

During the last 15 years, operational oceanography systems have been developed in
several countries around the world. These developments have been fostered primarily by …

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 …

Abstract In the Pacific Northwest, blooms of the diatom Pseudo-nitzschia (PN) sometimes
produce domoic acid, a neurotoxin that causes amnesic shellfish poisoning, leading to a …
