Spatial inhomogeneities in the sedimentation of biogenic particles in ocean flows: analysis in the Benguela region
Pedro Monroy, Gabor Drotos, Emilio Hernandez-Garcia +1
Sedimentation of particles in the ocean leads to inhomogeneous horizontal distributions at depth, even if the release process is homogeneous. We study this phenomenon considering a…
Crossroads of the mesoscale circulation
Alberto Baudena, Enrico Ser-Giacomi, Cristobal Lopez +2
Quantifying the mechanisms of tracer dispersion in the ocean remains a central question in oceanography, for problems ranging from nutrient delivery to phytoplankton, to the early…
Characterization of the structure and cross-shore transport properties of a coastal upwelling filament using three-dimensional finite-size Lyapunov exponents
Joao H. Bettencourt, Vincent Rossi, Emilio Hernandez-Garcia +2
The three dimensional structure, dynamics and dispersion characteristics of a simulated upwelling filament in the Iberian upwelling system are analyzed using Lagrangian tools. We u…
Boundaries of the Peruvian Oxygen Minimum Zone shaped by coherent mesoscale dynamics
João H. Bettencourt, Cristóbal López, Emilio Hernández García +5
Dissolved oxygen in sea water is a major factor affecting marine habitats and biogeochemical cycles. Oceanic zones with oxygen deficits represent significant portions of the area a…
Dominant transport pathways in an atmospheric blocking event
Enrico Ser-Giacomi, Ruggero Vasile, Irene Recuerda +2
A Lagrangian flow network is constructed for the atmospheric blocking of eastern Europe and western Russia in summer 2010. We compute the most probable paths followed by fluid part…
Flow networks: A characterization of geophysical fluid transport
Enrico Ser-Giacomi, Vincent Rossi, Cristobal Lopez +1
We represent transport between different regions of a fluid domain by flow networks, constructed from the discrete representation of the Perron-Frobenius or transfer operator assoc…
