The repartition of tracers in the ocean's upper layer on the scale of a few tens of kilometres is
largely determined by the horizontal transport induced by surface currents. Here we …

Horizontal Lagrangian surface transport is studied in the Ria de Vigo, an estuary in NW
Spain with tidal and wind-driven dynamics. Surface drifters and the surface flow from a high …

Based on ten years (1998–2007) of satellite ocean color data we analyze the spatiotemporal
patterns in the seasonal Madagascar plankton bloom with respect to the advection of the …

Lagrangian particle tracking and Lagrangian coherent structures (LCS) analysis tools aid in
the studies of fluid flow and are especially helpful in understanding the role of transport in …

As an unwanted by-product in the power plants, cooling water (CW) discharge may induce
harmful effects on the coastal environment. In this paper, to accurately predict the CW …

The automatic detection and analysis of ocean eddies has become a popular research topic
in physical oceanography during the last few decades. Compact polarimetric synthetic …

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) in marine environments have significant adverse effects on
public health, aquaculture and recreational activities. Surges of certain phytoplanktonic toxin …

Compared to ecosystem conservation in territorial seas, protecting the open ocean has
peculiar geopolitical, economic and scientific challenges. One of the major obstacle is …

Cobia (Rachycentron canadum) is a coastal pelagic migratory fish species of tropical and
subtropical waters, where it is an important game fish and it has been commercially …

We investigate the competition between two different functional groups of phytoplankton in
the wake of an island close to a coastal upwelling region. We couple a simple biological …
