Preface "Nonlinear processes in oceanic and atmospheric flows"
A. M. Mancho, S. Wiggins, A. Turiel +3
Nonlinear phenomena are essential ingredients in many oceanic and atmospheric processes, and successful understanding of them benefits from multidisciplinary collaboration between…
The Lagrangian description of aperiodic flows: a case study of the Kuroshio Current
Carolina Mendoza, Ana M. Mancho
This article reviews several recently developed Lagrangian tools and shows how their combined use succeeds in obtaining a detailed description of purely advective transport events…
The turnstile mechanism across the Kuroshio current: analysis of dynamics in altimeter velocity fields
Carolina Mendoza, Ana M. Mancho, Marie-Hélene Rio
In this article we explore the ability of dynamical systems tools to describe transport in oceanic flows characterized by data sets measured from satellite. In particular we have s…
The hidden geometry of ocean flows
Carolina Mendoza, Ana M Mancho
We introduce a new global Lagrangian descriptor that is applied to flows with general time dependence (altimetric datasets). It succeeds in detecting simultaneously, with great acc…
