Observing and Quantifying Kinematic Properties and Lagrangian Coherent Structures of Ocean Flows using Drifter Experiments
This thesis analyzes data from two types of unique drifter experiments in order to characterize two aspects of ocean flows that are often difficult to study. First, vertical velocities and their associated transport processes are often challenging to observe in the real ocean since vertical velociti...
