Loop Current influence on the connectivity of the West Florida Shelf and impacts on red tide events
P. Miron
We investigate the influence of the Loop Current (LC) on the connectivity of the Gulf of Mexico, with a focus on the West Florida Shelf (WFS), using in situ trajectories from satel…
Lagrangian coherence and source of water of Loop Current Frontal Eddies in the Gulf of Mexico
Luna Hiron, Philippe Miron, Lynn K. Shay +3
Loop Current Frontal Eddies (LCFEs) are known to intensify and assist in the Loop Current (LC) eddy shedding. These eddies can also modify the circulation in the eastern Gulf of Me…
Sampling--Dependent Transition Paths of Iceland-Scotland Overflow Water
F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga, L. Helfmann +1
In this note, we apply Transition Path Theory (TPT) from Markov chains to shed light on the problem of Iceland-Scotland Overflow Water (ISOW) equatorward export. A recent analysis…
Toward the detection of moving separation in unsteady flows
Philippe Miron, Jérôme Vétel
In many engineering systems operating with a working fluid, the best efficiency is reached close to a condition of flow separation, which makes its prediction very crucial in indus…
Transition paths of marine debris and the stability of the garbage patches
P. Miron, F. J. Beron-Vera, L. Helfmann +1
We used transition path theory (TPT) to infer "reactive" pathways of floating marine debris trajectories. The TPT analysis was applied on a pollution-aware time-homogeneous Markov…
Clustering of marine-debris- and \emph{Sargassum}-like drifters explained by inertial particle dynamics}
P. Miron, M. J. Olascoaga, F. J. Beron-Vera +4
Drifters designed to mimic floating marine debris and small patches of pelagic \emph{Sargassum} were satellite tracked in four regions across the North Atlantic. Though subjected t…
A minimal Maxey--Riley model for the drift of \emph{Sargassum} rafts
Francisco J Beron-Vera, Philippe Miron
Inertial particles (i.e. with mass and of finite size) immersed in a fluid in motion are unable to adapt their velocities to the carrying flow and thus they have been the subject o…
Observation and quantification of inertial effects on the drift of floating objects at the ocean surface
M. J. Olascoaga, F. J. Beron-Vera, P. Miron +4
We present results from an experiment designed to better understand the mechanism by which ocean currents and winds control flotsam drift. The experiment consisted in deploying in…
Building a Maxey--Riley framework for surface ocean inertial particle dynamics
F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga, P. Miron
A framework for the study of surface ocean inertial particle motion is built from the Maxey--Riley set. A new set is obtained by vertically averaging each term of the original set,…
Markov-chain-inspired search for MH370
P. Miron, F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga +1
Markov-chain models are constructed for the probabilistic description of the drift of marine debris from Malaysian Airlines flight MH370. En route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, the…
Lagrangian geography of the deep Gulf of Mexico
P Miron, F Beron-Vera, M Olascoaga +3
Using trajectories from acoustically tracked (RAFOS) floats in the Gulf of Mexico, we construct a geography of its Lagrangian circulation within the 1500--2500-m layer. This is don…
Lagrangian dynamical geography of the Gulf of Mexico
P. Miron, F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga +3
We construct a Markov-chain representation of the surface-ocean Lagrangian dynamics in a region occupied by the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) and adjacent portions of the Caribbean Sea and…
