Title (original)
Lagrangian ocean analysis: Fundamentals and practices
Description
this paper review the state of the art in the field of Lagrangian analysis of ocean velocity data, starting from a fundamental kinematic framework and with a focus on large-scale open ocean applications. Beyond the use of explicit velocity fields. The authors consider the influence of unresolved physics and dynamics on particle trajectories and comprehensively list and discuss the tools currently available for tracking virtual particles. The work then showcase some of the innovative applications of trajectory data, and conclude with some open questions and an outlook. The overall goal of this review paper is to reconcile some of the different techniques and methods in Lagrangian ocean analysis, while recognising the rich diversity of codes that have and continue to emerge, and the challenges of the coming age of petascale computing.
