Carriers of \emph{Sargassum} and mechanism for coastal inundation in the Caribbean Sea

F. Andrade-Canto, F. J. Beron-Vera, G. J. Goni +3

We identify effective carriers of \emph{Sargassum} in the Caribbean Sea and describe a mechanism for coastal choking. Revealed from satellite altimetry, the carriers of \emph{Sarga…

Observation and quantification of inertial effects on the drift of floating objects at the ocean surface

M. J. Olascoaga, F. J. Beron-Vera, P. Miron +4

We present results from an experiment designed to better understand the mechanism by which ocean currents and winds control flotsam drift. The experiment consisted in deploying in…
