Learning effective Sargassum transport dynamics from limited drifter observations
F. J. Beron-VEra, M. J. Olascoaga, J. Morell +1
Floating-material transport is influenced by unresolved processes that are often absent from available circulation products. We develop a data-driven transport-learning framework f…
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…
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…
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…
Building a Maxey--Riley framework for surface ocean inertial particle dynamics
F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga, P. Miron
A framework for the study of surface ocean inertial particle motion is built from the Maxey--Riley set. A new set is obtained by vertically averaging each term of the original set,…
Stability of the Malvinas Current
FJ Beron-Vera, N. Bodnariuk, M. Saraceno +2
Deterministic and probabilistic tools from nonlinear dynamics are used to assess enduring near-surface Lagrangian aspects of the Malvinas Current. The deterministic tools are appli…
