Characterization of the structure and cross-shore transport properties of a coastal upwelling filament using three-dimensional finite-size Lyapunov exponents
Joao H. Bettencourt, Vincent Rossi, Emilio Hernandez-Garcia +2
The three dimensional structure, dynamics and dispersion characteristics of a simulated upwelling filament in the Iberian upwelling system are analyzed using Lagrangian tools. We u…
Boundaries of the Peruvian Oxygen Minimum Zone shaped by coherent mesoscale dynamics
João H. Bettencourt, Cristóbal López, Emilio Hernández García +5
Dissolved oxygen in sea water is a major factor affecting marine habitats and biogeochemical cycles. Oceanic zones with oxygen deficits represent significant portions of the area a…
Characterization of coherent structures in three-dimensional flows using the finite-size Lyapunov exponent
João H Bettencourt, Cristóbal López, Emilio Hernández-García
In this paper we use the finite size Lyapunov Exponent (FSLE) to characterize Lagrangian coherent structures in three-dimensional (3d) turbulent flows. Lagrangian coherent structur…
Oceanic three-dimensional Lagrangian Coherent Structures: A study of a mesoscale eddy in the Benguela ocean region
João H. Bettencourt, Cristóbal López, Emilio Hernández-García
We study three dimensional oceanic Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) in the Benguela region, as obtained from an output of the ROMS model. To do that we first compute Finite-Si…
