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…

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…
