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…
Genesis, evolution, and apocalypse of Loop Current rings
F Andrade-Cano, D. Karrasch, F. J. Beron-Vera
We carry out assessments of the life cycle of Loop Current vortices, so-called rings, in the Gulf of Mexico by applying three objective (i.e., observer-independent) coherent Lagran…
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…
Nonlinear dynamics of inertial particles in the ocean: From drifters and floats to marine debris and Sargassum
F. J. Beron-Vera
Buoyant, finite-size or inertial particle motion is fundamentally unlike neutrally buoyant, infinitesimally small or Lagrangian particle motion. The de-jure fluid mechanics framewo…
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…
