“…We refer to these techniques as 'diagnostic methods' for determining LCSs, but our primary discussion will be essentially independent of which method is used. The key point is whatever the definitions of LCSs, their formulation is typically (with a few exceptions, such as, for example, the burning manifolds of [32,33,34,35,36]) based solely on the Lagrangian trajectories associated with (1), and the goal is to identify fluid parcel groups that behave similarly, and are thus 'coherent.' This has been a rich area of study using both experimental [37,38,39,40] and observational [41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53] data.…”
