Linking Horizontal and Vertical Submesoscale Lagrangian Dynamics South of the Ibiza Channel

Sara Cloux, Ismael Hernandez-Carrasco, Alejandro Orfila +2

Fronts, eddies, jets, and meanders populate the ocean surface and play a key role in organizing transport and mixing across a wide range of scales. From a Lagrangian perspective, f…

Characteristic signatures of Northern Hemisphere blocking events in a Lagrangian flow network representation of the atmospheric circulation

Noémie Ehstand, Reik V. Donner, Cristóbal López +1

In the past decades, boreal summers have been characterized by an increasing number of extreme weather events in the Northern Hemisphere extratropics, including persistent heat wav…

Using Network Theory and Machine Learning to predict El Niño

Peter D. Nooteboom, Qing Yi Feng, Cristóbal López +2

The skill of current predictions of the warm phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) reduces significantly beyond a lag of six months. In this paper, we aim to increase th…

Modeling the dynamical sinking of biogenic particles in oceanic flow

Pedro Monroy, Emilio Hernández-García, Vincent Rossi +1

We study the problem of sinking particles in a realistic oceanic flow, with major energetic structures in the mesoscale, focussing in the range of particle sizes and densities appr…

Hydrodynamic provinces and oceanic connectivity from a transport network help designing marine reserves

Vincent Rossi, Enrico Ser-Giacomi, Cristóbal López +1

Oceanic dispersal and connectivity have been identified as crucial factors for structuring marine populations and designing Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Focusing on larval disper…

Lagrangian transport in a microtidal coastal area: the Bay of Palma, island of Mallorca, Spain

Ismael Hernández-Carrasco, Cristóbal López, Alejandro Orfila +1

Coastal transport in the Bay of Palma, a small region in the island of Mallorca, Spain, is characterized in terms of Lagrangian descriptors. The data sets used for this study are t…

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…
