Vertical mixing in oil spill modelling

Tor Nordam, Jørgen Skancke, Rodrigo Duran +1

The main focus of marine oil spill modelling is often on where the oil will end up, i.e., on the horizontal transport. However, due to current shear, wind drag, and the different p…

Horizontal transport in oil-spill modeling

Rodrigo Duran, Tor Nordam, Mattia Serra +1

Simulating oil transport in the ocean can be done successfully provided that accurate ocean currents and surface winds are available -- this is often too big of a challenge. Defici…

Persistent meanders and eddies lead to a quasi-steady Lagrangian transport pattern in a weak western boundary current

Mainara Biazati Gouveia, Rodrigo Duran, Joao Antonio Lorenzzetti +4

The Brazil Current (BC) is a weak western boundary current described as a flow with intense mesoscale activity and relatively low volume transport. We use a 13-year simulation to s…

Environmental Economics and Uncertainty: Review and a Machine Learning Outlook

Ruda Zhang, Patrick Wingo, Rodrigo Duran +3

Economic assessment in environmental science concerns the measurement or valuation of environmental impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability. Integrated assessment modeling is a unif…

Persistent Lagrangian transport patterns in the northwestern Gulf of Mexico

M. K. Gough, F. J. Beron-Vera, M. J. Olascoaga +3

Persistent Lagrangian transport patterns at the ocean surface are revealed from Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCSs) computed from daily climatological surface current velocities…

Extracting quasi-steady Lagrangian transport patterns from the ocean circulation: An application to the Gulf of Mexico

Rodrigo Duran, Francisco J. Beron-Vera, Maria Josefina Olascoaga

We construct a climatology of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs), the concealed skeleton that shapes transport, with a twelve-year-long data-assimilative simulation of the sea-s…
