Design of Lagrangian Drifters for Ocean Monitoring
Lagrangian drifters are oceanographic devices used to study circulation patterns in the ocean. The devices are typically passive, which means that they have no actuators to initiate motion. They are mainly driven by the ocean currents. A drifter, as depicted in Fig. 1, in principle consists of a surface float and a drogue connected via tether. The surface float provides the necessary buoyancy t...
متن کاملAnomalous Southward Advection During 2002 in the Northern California Current: Evidence from Lagrangian Surface Drifters
[1] Equatorward velocities in the upwelling jet of the northern California Current were 0.05–0.06 m s 1 faster in spring and summer 2002 than on average over 1998–2002. This result is based on a five-year data set of surface drifters released across the continental margin off central Oregon (44.65 N) during April and July of each year. At this speed, anomalous water displacements of over a degr...
متن کاملStochastic Lagrangian Trajectory Modeling of Surface Drifters Deployed during the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
Lagrangian trajectory models have been demonstrated to be a useful tool in oil spill response. Despite the improvements in this kind of models, surface drift prediction remains a difficult task plagued with uncertainties. This work presents a Stochastic Lagrangian Trajectory Model (SLTM) that quantifies the uncertainties in trajectory simulations and defines the most likely search area of possi...
متن کاملSimulation of Lagrangian Drifters in the Labrador Sea
A principal technical objective is to simulate and understand the behavior of Lagrangian drifters and floats in the presence of deep convection in the Labrador Sea. The corollary scientific objective for the Labrador Sea DeepConvection ARI is to understand the production, transport and dissipation of TKE and scalar variances (potential temperature and salinity); and the production and transport...
