We explore the possibility to identify areas of intense patch formation from floating items due to systematic convergence of surface velocity fields by means of a visual comparison of …
In coastal water systems, horizontal chaotic dispersion plays a significant role in the distribution and fate of pollutants. Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) provide useful …
Lagrangian coherent Structures (LCS) are useful to investigate material transport and have only recently been applied to coastal waters. Identification of material lines by LCS in a …
Coastal and estuarine ecosystems are heavily influenced through floating debris pollution. This often leads to low-quality coastal water and a negative impact on ecosystem health …
The dispersion and aggregation of floating litter in the basin of the Gulf of Finland is governed by the combination of local weather events and the interactions of the flow fields …
