ABSTRACT
This talk analyzes surface transport in Monterey Bay using the velocity field described by Kirwan and Lipphardt. Particle trajectories are described by a finite time, nonstationary process. We extend the turnstile based transport analysis to this case without requiring the existence hyperbolicity or invariant manifolds. Statistical quantities related to particle passage through the bay are also computed using this approach. Results for both 1994 and 1999 are presented. Collaborators in this effort are Kayo Ide, Denny Kirwan, Bruce Lipphardt, Chet Grosch, and Jeff Paduan.
