ABSTRACT
Dynamical systems ideas have given us a new view on Lagrangian transport in the ocean. With this perspective, the key structures are the invariant manifolds that delineate coherent features such as eddies and jets. This approach gives rise to efficient techniques for tracking and analysis of motion and the interaction of coherent features. This technique applied to optimal float placement design, Lagranian evaluation of ocean models, and analysis of the drifter/float data assimilation schemes.
