| Several oceanic applications of the recent geodesic theory of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS) will be discussed, including: forecasting of Lagrangian instabilities with a focus on oil spills and pollutant dispersal; inference of dynamical aspects of the general circulation of the ocean; calibration of ocean general circulation model simulations; identification and tracking of coherent eddies; computation of transport by coherent eddies; and suppression of transport by jets. |
