Abstract Attention is given to the mapping of marine litter pathways due their negative impact on environment, society, and economy. Many models have been created examine ocean dynamics particle tracking systems. This study aims contribute these existing by introducing a framework called “MATT’S PATROLL: MArine liTTer’S PATh, faRe, tOLL.” examines three pillars needed for management litter, computational, socio-ecological, economic arms. The Lagrangian model used spatio-temporal behavior litters surface ocean. “faRe” component describes direct indirect effects meso-particles sea land populations while they wait accumulate shorelines other settlements. “tOLL” long-term ecological socio-economic costs ecosystems in water, as well damage loss gross revenue from sector when penetrate habitats livelihoods. To illustrate framework, artificially generated data around Visayas region simulate path, fare, toll calculations.

Unlike other upwelling areas where sardine and anchovy species dominate the pelagic ecosystems, Western Iberian ecosystem has been consistently dominated by European Engraulis encrasicolus , while had a residual presence from start of acoustic surveys, in 1989, to 2014. Since 2015, abundance margins sharply increased continues show an increasing trend as 2023. It is unclear if this increase result dispersal nearby recruitment areas, higher survival rates early life stages due favorable environmental conditions, or both. We used set different models simulate dispersion region for years preceding abundance. An ocean model simulation with CROCO provided fields background Lagrangian simulations coupled individual-based eggs larvae. simulated 2013-2015, results that 2014 anomalous upper-ocean circulation patterns strong persistent westward currents transported large number larvae Bay Biscay (BoB) along Northern margin.

Published: July 11, 2024

Abstract Biological productivity in the Southern Ocean is modulated by iron availability. Every summer, a large phytoplankton bloom forms northwest of Ross Sea, above Antarctic Australian Ridge (AAR), due to plume iron‐rich waters. Here, we investigate origin and trajectories these waters analyzing water mass observations Lagrangian experiments. Output from State Estimate (SOSE) situ measurements reveal that AAR share properties with Modified Circumpolar Deep Water (MCDW), which on shelf‐slope. The experiments are conducted using SOSE velocities. Bloom tracked virtual particles highlight an along isopycnal pathway MCDW Antarctica's shelf‐slope site, illustrating advection Balleny Gyre. These results supported temperature‐salinity analyses, show correlation between advected northwards; properties; high concentrations.

The accumulation of sea surface debris around the coastal waters Malta poses significant ecological and environmental challenges, negatively affecting marine ecosystems human activities. This issue is exacerbated by lack an effective system tailored to predict movement specifically for Islands Malta.

Central are LSTM GRU models, trained SSC next 24 hours specific area. These predictions then utilised Lagrangian simulate movement, providing insights into dispersion patterns.
