The hidden geometry of ocean flows
arXiv:1003.0368 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.105.038501
Abstract
We introduce a new global Lagrangian descriptor that is applied to flows with general time dependence (altimetric datasets). It succeeds in detecting simultaneously, with great accuracy, invariant manifolds, hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic flow regions.
