Clustering of Floating Tracer Due to Mesoscale Vortex and Submesoscale Fields

Abstract Floating tracer clustering is studied in oceanic flows that combine both a field of coherent mesoscale vortices, as simulated by a regional, comprehensive, eddy‐resolving general circulation model, and kinematic random submesoscale velocity fields. Both fields have rotational and divergent...
