Ecosystems in arid areas are fragile and are easily disturbed by various natural and human
factors. The purpose of this study is to clarify the hydrological and ecological processes of …

We represent transport between different regions of a fluid domain by flow networks,
constructed from the discrete representation of the Perron-Frobenius or transfer operator …

Over the last two decades the complex network paradigm has proven to be a fruitful tool for
the investigation of complex systems in many areas of science; for example, the Internet …

Coastal ocean ecosystems are major contributors to the global biogeochemical cycles and
biological productivity. Physical factors induced by the turbulent flow play a crucial role in …

We study the impact of the Ekman currents and Stokes drift on the surface horizontal
transport and mixing properties of the Mediterranean Sea. Finite Size Lyapunov Exponents …

Lagrangian particle tracking within ocean models is an important tool for the examination of
ocean circulation, ventilation timescales and connectivity and is increasingly being used to …

A combined space and time domain Self‐Organizing Maps analysis of Altimetry‐derived
finite‐size Lyapunov exponents is used to extract characteristic spatial patterns of …

Introduction Ocean fronts are moving ephemeral biological hotspots forming at the interface
of cooler and warmer waters. In the open ocean, this is where marine organisms, ranging …

The capacity of the Azores Archipelago to capture and retain incoming particles and
organisms that are drifting with the oceanic currents was the main focus of this study. Using …

High-frequency radar, HFR, is a cost-effective monitoring technique that allows us to obtain
high-resolution continuous surface currents, providing new insights for understanding small …
