TL;DR: In this article, a 1.5 turbulence closure model in an ocean general circulation model of the equatorial Atlantic is presented, where the eddy viscosity and diffusivity involved in the vertical mixing are defined as the product of a characteristic turbulent velocity and a characteristic mixing length.

TL;DR: In this paper, three-dimensional monthly velocity fields from an ocean general circulation model are used to study the annual mean mass balance of the Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent (EUC).

TL;DR: Lagrangian analysis is a powerful way to analyse the output of ocean circulation models and other ocean velocity data such as from altimetry as mentioned in this paper, where large sets of virtual particles are integrated within the 3D, time-evolving velocity fields.

TL;DR: Ichthyop is a free Java tool designed to study the effects of physical and biological factors on ichthyoplankton dynamics and generates output files that can be post-processed easily using graphic and statistical software.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a global ocean general circulation model to study the main circulation patterns within the upper 1200 m of the equatorial Atlantic, where they used Lagrangian techniques to picture and quantify the routes followed in the model by distinct water mass classes, defined by their initial temperature on model transatlantic sections at 10°S and 10°N.
