“…In order to find where the AS tracers have walked in the area, we used so-called tracking Lagrangian maps (Prants, 2013;Prants et al, 2013) computed by means of a material line technique that was elaborated by Budyansky et al (2015) and Prants et al, (2011Prants et al, ( , 2014b. The region under study was divided in 1000 × 1000 cells and the number of days, v, the tracers of the chosen material line could visit each cell for the year after launching has been calculated.…”

Mesoscale circulation along the Sakhalin Island eastern coast

The seasonal and interannual variability of mesoscale circulation along the eastern coast of the Sakhalin Island in the Okhotsk Sea is investigated using AVISO velocity field and oceanographic data for the period from 1993 to 2016. It is found that mesoscale cyclones with the horizontal dimension of about 100 km occur there predominantly during summer, whereas anticyclones occur predominantly during fall and winter. The cyclones are generated due to the coastal upwelling forced by northward winds and the positive wind stress curl along the Sakhalin coast. The anticyclones are formed due to an inflow of low-salinity Amur-River waters from the Sakhalin Gulf intensified by southward winds and the negative wind stress curl in the cold season. The mesoscale cyclones support the high biological productivity at the eastern Sakhalin shelf in July - August

“…The water exchange between the bay and the open sea is governed mainly by a cyclonic circulation over the deep central basin and the Primorskoye current flowing to the southwest along the continental slope of the Primorsky Krai (Russia). We have used velocity data from the MHI ocean circulation model [10] which is a set of 3D primitive equations in Z-coordinate system with 10 quasi-isopycnal layers and the resolution of 2.5 km.…”

We apply the Lagrangian approach to study surface transport and mixing in the ocean. New tools have been developed to track the motion of water masses, their origin and fate and to quantify transport and mixing. To illustrate the methods used we compute the Lagrangian synoptic maps a comparatively small marine bay, the Peter the Great Bay in the Japan Sea near Vladivostok city (Russia), and in a comparatively large region in the North Pacific, the Kuroshio Extension system. In the first case we use velocity data from a Japan Sea circulation numerical model and in the second one the velocity data are derived from satellite altimeter measurements of anomalies of the sea height distributed by AVISO.
