Abstract:Abstract. Evaluating passive tracer advection is a common tool to study flow structures,
particularly Lagrangian trajectories ranging from molecular scales up to the
atmosphere and oceans. Here we report on numerical experiments in the region
of the tropical Pacific (20∘ S–20∘ N), where 6600 tracer parcels
are advected from a regular initial configuration (along a meridional line at 110∘ W between 15∘ S and 15∘ N) during periods of 1 year for
25 years altogether. We exploit AVISO surface flow fields and solve … Show more
