Review Article: "The Lagrangian description of aperiodic flows: a case study of the Kuroshio Current"

This article reviews several recently developed Lagrangian tools and shows how their combined use succeeds in obtaining a detailed description of purely advective transport events in general aperiodic flows. In particular, because of the climate impact of ocean transport processes, we illustrate a 2...
