Drifter dispersion in the Adriatic Sea: Lagrangian data and chaotic model
We analyze characteristics of drifter trajectories from the Adriatic Sea with recently introduced nonlinear dynamics techniques. We discuss how in quasienclosed basins, relative dispersion as function of time, a standard analysis tool in this context, may give a distorted picture of the dynamics. We further show that useful information may be obtained by using two related nonasymptotic indicato...
متن کاملScaling surf zone turbulence
[1] Turbulence in the surf zone, the shallow region adjacent to the shoreline, has a key role in beach erosion, fertilization, dispersal, and larval settlement of marine invertebrates, and microbial contamination dilution in beach waters. Breakingwave generated (the dominant source) surf zone turbulence is understood poorly. A new surf zone turbulent dissipation rate scaling is derived, that co...
متن کاملA Lagrangian Drifter with Inexpensive Wide Area Differential Gps Positioning
Autonomous drifting buoys that acquire position data using Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation have proven valuable in Lagrangian measurement applications requiring greater accuracy and data density than is available through other technologies such as ARGOS satellite tracking. The limits on measurement accuracy in a GPS drifter are set by the geographic accuracy of the GPS position. Stan...
متن کاملA Lagrangian Stochastic Model for Heavy Particle Dispersion in the Atmospheric Marine Boundary Layer
The dispersion of heavy particles and pollutants is often simulated with Lagrangian stochastic (LS) models. Although these models have been employed successfully over land, the free surface at the air-sea interface complicates the implementation of traditional LS models. We present an adaptation of traditional LS models to the atmospheric marine boundary layer (MBL), where the bottom boundary i...
متن کاملHistory of Lagrangian Stochastic Models for Turbulent Dispersion
Lagrangian Mode Geophysical Mon © 2012. American 10.1029/2012GM This article briefly summarizes the historical evolution of the modern Lagrangian stochastic (LS) class of models for the calculation of fluid element (or particle) paths in turbulence. The fundamental advantages of a “first-order” LS model relative to alternative descriptions of turbulent dispersion are (1) its ability to correctl...
