Dynamical geography and transition paths of Sargassum in the tropical Atlantic
F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga, N. Putman +3
By analyzing a time-homogeneous Markov chain constructed using trajectories of undrogued drifting buoys from the NOAA's Global Drifter Program, we find that probability density can…
A Dataset of Hourly Sea Surface Temperature From Drifting Buoys
Shane Elipot, Adam Sykulski, Rick Lumpkin +2
A dataset of sea surface temperature (SST) estimates is generated from the temperature observations of surface drifting buoys of NOAA's Global Drifter Program. Estimates of SST at…
Multivariate Probabilistic Regression with Natural Gradient Boosting
Michael O'Malley, Adam M. Sykulski, Rick Lumpkin +1
Many single-target regression problems require estimates of uncertainty along with the point predictions. Probabilistic regression algorithms are well-suited for these tasks. Howev…
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…
Inertia-induced accumulation of flotsam in the subtropical gyres
Francisco J. Beron-Vera, Maria J. Olascoaga, Rick Lumpkin
Recent surveys of marine plastic debris density have revealed high levels in the center of the subtropical gyres. Earlier studies have argued that the formation of great garbage pa…
