Extracting quasi-steady Lagrangian transport patterns from the ocean circulation: An application to the Gulf of Mexico

We construct a climatology of Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs)—the concealed skeleton that shapes transport—with a twelve-year-long data-assimilative simulation of the sea-surface circulation in the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Computed as time-mean Cauchy–Green strain tensorlines of the climatologica...
