Numerical Simulations of Episodic Mixing and Lateral Dispersion by Vortical Modes

Abstract

Our long term goal is to gain a better understanding of rates and mechanisms of lateral dispersion in the ocean. The specific goal of these numerical simulations is to provide a quantitative evaluation of current hypotheses about the importance of lateral dispersion by vortical modes.
