Abstract:
The long term goal of this project is to advance the state of the art in mathematical methods for detecting key Lagrangian transport structures in velocity field data sets for spatially complex, time- dependent, ocean surface flows. Such transport structures are typically not inherently obvious in snapshots of the Eulerian velocity field and require analysis methods with foundations in Lagrangian flow transport. Several such methods are currently being developed, and we seek to assess the utility of several of the leading methods.
