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…
The reduction of plankton biomass induced by mesoscale stirring: a modeling study in the Benguela upwelling
Ismael Hernández-Carrasco, Vincent Rossi, Emilio Hernández-García +2
Recent studies, both based on remote sensed data and coupled models, showed a reduction of biological productivity due to vigorous horizontal stirring in upwelling areas. In order…
How reliable are Finite-Size Lyapunov Exponents for the assessment of ocean dynamics?
Ismael Hernández-Carrasco, Emilio Hernández-García, Cristóbal López +1
Much of atmospheric and oceanic transport is associated with coherent structures. Lagrangian methods are emerging as optimal tools for their identification and analysis. An importa…
