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…
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…
