Abstract: Lagrangian particles in a cluster are divided in two groups: observable and unobservable. The problem is to predict the unobservable particle positions given their initial positions and velocities based on observations of ...

Abstract: An inversion technique for estimating the terms of the oceanic near-surface heat transport is extended to include the vertical heat flux at the bottom of the surface mixed layer. The mixed-layer heat balance equation uses ...

Abstract: In light of the recent high-resolution radar data of surface velocity, which have revealed submesoscale eddies between the Florida Current and the coast, an objective method of detecting eddies and estimating their parameters ...

Abstract: Predictability of particle motion in the ocean over a timescale of one week is studied using three clusters of buoys consisting of 5?10 drifters deployed in the tropical Pacific Ocean. The analysis is conducted by using ...

Abstract: The predictability of particle trajectories in oceanic flows is investigated in the context of a primitive equation, idealized, double-gyre ocean model. This study is motivated not only by the fact that this is an important ...
