Ocean Lagrangian Trajectories (OLTraj): Lagrangian analysis for non-expert users
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lagrangian analysis is becoming increasingly important to better understand the ocean's biological and biogeochemical cycles. Yet, biologists chemists often lack technical skills required set up such analyses. Here, we present a new product of pre-computed ocean Lagrangian trajectories (OLTraj) targeting non-expert users, demonstrate how use it by means worked examples. OLTraj based on satellite-derived geostrophic currents, which allows one directly compare with other in-situ or satellite products. We anticipate that will foster interest in applications biology biogeochemistry.

Angular Statistics of Lagrangian Trajectories
The angle between subsequent particle displacement increments is evaluated as a function of the timelag in isotropic turbulence. It is shown that the evolution of the average of this angle contains two well-defined power-laws, reflecting the multi-scale dynamics of high-Reynolds number turbulence. INTRODUCTION In the Lagrangian reference frame, the spatio-temporal complexity of turbulence manif...
متن کاملDesign 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...

The angle between subsequent particle displacement increments is evaluated as a function of the time lag in isotropic turbulence. It is shown that the evolution of this angle contains two well-defined power laws, reflecting the multiscale dynamics of high-Reynolds number turbulence. The probability density function of the directional change is shown to be self-similar and well approximated by a...
متن کاملExtracting waves and vortices from Lagrangian trajectories
[1] A method for extracting time-varying oscillatory motions from time series records is applied to Lagrangian trajectories from a numerical model of eddies generated by an unstable equivalent barotropic jet on a beta plane. An oscillation in a Lagrangian trajectory is represented mathematically as the signal traced out as a particle orbits a time-varying ellipse, a model which captures wavelik...
متن کاملTrisecting non-Lagrangian theories
We propose a way to define and compute invariants of general smooth 4manifolds based on topological twists of non-Lagrangian 4d N = 2 and N = 3 theories in which the problem is reduced to a fairly standard computation in topological A-model, albeit with rather unusual targets, such as compact and non-compact Gepner models, asymmetric orbifolds, N = (2, 2) linear dilaton theories, “self-mirror” ...
