Multirotor-assisted measurements of wind-induced drift of irregularly shaped objects in aquatic environments

Javier Gonzalez-Rocha, Alejandro J. Sosa, Regina Hanlon +4

Ocean hazardous spills and search and rescue incidents are more prevalent as maritime activities increase across all sectors of society. However, emergency response time remains a…

Uncertainty Quantification of Trajectory Clustering Applied to Ocean Ensemble Forecasts

Guilherme S. Vieira, Irina I. Rypina, Michael R. Allshouse

Partitioning ocean flows into regions dynamically distinct from their surroundings based on material transport can assist search-and-rescue planning by reducing the search domain.…

Search and rescue at sea aided by hidden flow structures

Mattia Serra, Pratik Sathe, Irina Rypina +6

Every year hundreds of people die at sea because of vessel and airplane accidents. A key challenge in reducing the number of these fatalities is to make Search and Rescue (SAR) alg…

Analytic Reconstruction of a Two-Dimensional Velocity Field from an Observed Diffusive Scalar

Arjun Sharma, Irina I. Rypina, Ruth Musgrave +1

Inverting an evolving diffusive scalar field to reconstruct the underlying velocity field is an underdetermined problem. Here we show, however, that for two-dimensional incompressi…

Identifying Finite-Time Coherent Sets from Limited Quantities of Lagrangian Data

Matthew O. Williams, Irina I. Rypina, Clarence W. Rowley

A data-driven procedure for identifying the dominant transport barriers in a time-varying flow from limited quantities of Lagrangian data is presented. Our approach partitions stat…

Zonal Jets as Transport Barriers in Planetary Atmospheres

F. J. Beron-Vera, M. G. Brown, M. J. Olascoaga +3

The connection between transport barriers and potential vorticity (PV) barriers in PV-conserving flows is investigated with a focus on zonal jets in planetary atmospheres. A pertur…
