Kinematics and Dynamics of a Poleward Undercurrent

Kinematics and Dynamics of a Poleward Undercurrent

A purposely calibrated ocean model is analyzed to firstly characterize poleward flow over the slope in an eastern boundary, and then determine the momentum and vorticity balances sustaining it—an epitome of my doctoral research.

Lagrangian Climatologies

A relatively simple approach capitalizing on recent developments in the field of nonlinear dynamics successfully extracts persistent structures describing prominent Lagrangian transport patterns, efficiently synthesizing Lagrangian information from large amounts of Eulerian data.
