Abstract: Because the tropical Atlantic is characterized by regions of strong seasonal variability that have been sampled inhomogeneously by surface drifters, Eulerian averages of these Lagrangian observations in spatially fixed ...

Abstract: arrier layers are generated when the surface mixed layer is shallower than the layer where temperature is well mixed, in geographical regions where salinity plays a key role in setting up upper-ocean density stratification. ...

Abstract: The statistical properties of Lagrangian velocities in a high-resolution numerical simulation of the North Atlantic Ocean are analyzed and discussed in the framework of particle dispersion parameterizations. Consistent ...

Abstract: n this study, results are presented from the first operational ocean tracer dispersion model operated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/National Weather Service/National Centers for Environmental ...
