Simulation of Lagrangian Drifters in the Labrador Sea
نویسنده
چکیده
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 of covariances (Reynolds stresses, heat and salt fluxes) from drifter sensor systems.

Prediction of particle trajectories in the Adriatic Sea using Lagrangian data assimilation
Ž The predictability of Lagrangian particle trajectories in the Adriatic Sea a semi-enclosed sub-basin of the Mediterranean . Sea over a period of 1–2 weeks is investigated using three clusters consisting of 5–7 drifters. The analysis is conducted using a Gauss–Markov Lagrangian particle model, which relies on the estimate of climatological mean flow field, persistence of turbulence, and assimi...
متن کاملA Lagrangian model for tracking surface spills and SaR operations in the ocean
An operational model for tracking surface objects in the ocean is presented. Contrary to most of traditional Lagrangian Particle Tracking Algorithms, the presented approach computes the probability density function from the final position of a set of neutrally buoyant particles deployed in the flow providing the area of accumulated probability. The model departs from daily predictions of ocean ...
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 کاملDo Assimilated Drifter Velocities Improve Lagrangian Predictability in an Operational Ocean Model?
The Lagrangian predictability of general circulation models is limited by the need for high-resolution data streams to constrain small-scale dynamical features. Here velocity observations from Lagrangian drifters deployed in theGulf ofMexico during the summer 2012GrandLagrangianDeployment (GLAD) experiment are assimilated into the Naval Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM) 4D variational (4DVAR) analysis...
