Tracing the origin of tropical North Atlantic Sargassum blooms to West Africa
Francisco J. Beron-Vera, Maria J. Olascoaga, Phillipe Miron +1
We simulate the dynamics of pelagic \emph{Sargassum} rafts as systems of finite-size floating particles, governed by a Maxey--Riley law with nonlinear elastic interactions. Using s…
Breaching the Barrier: Transition Pathways of Coral Larval Connectivity Across the Eastern Pacific
Maria Olascoaga, Francisco Beron-Vera, Gage Bonner +1
Genetic analyses indicate minimal gene flow across the so-called Eastern Pacific Barrier (EPB) in larvae of the reef-building coral \emph{Porites lobata}. Notably, Clipperton Atoll…
Discovering the dynamics of \emph{Sargassum} rafts' centers of mass
Francisco J. Beron-Vera, Gage Bonner
Since 2011, rafts of floating \emph{Sargassum} seaweed have frequently obstructed the coasts of the Intra-Americas Seas. The motion of the rafts is represented by a high-dimensiona…
Geodesic vortex detection on curved surfaces: Analyzing the 2002 austral stratospheric polar vortex warming event
Fernando Andrade-Canto, Francisco J. Beron-Vera, Gage Bonner
Geodesic vortex detection is a tool in nonlinear dynamical systems to objectively identify transient vortices with flow-invariant boundaries that defy the typical deformation found…
Charting the course of \emph{Sargassum}: Incorporating nonlinear elastic interactions and life cycles in the Maxey--Riley model
Gage Bonner, Francisco J Beron-Vera, Maria J. Olascoaga
The surge of pelagic \emph{Sargassum} in the Intra-America Seas, particularly the Caribbean Sea, since the early 2010s has raised significant ecological concerns. This study emphas…
Physics-informed laboratory estimation of Sargassum windage
M. J. Olascoaga, F. J. Beron-Vera, R. T. Beyea +5
A recent Maxey--Riley theory for \sarg raft motion, which models a raft as a network of elastically interacting finite-size, buoyant particles, predicts the carrying flow velocity…
