A bridge between invariant dynamical structures and uncertainty quantification
Guillermo García-Sánchez¹, Ana M. Mancho¹, Stephen Wiggins²arXiv:2103.05439 [math.DS]This paper develops a new quantifier for forward time uncertainty for trajectories that are solutions of models generated from data sets. An uncertainty quantifier is defined on the phase space in which the trajectories evolve and it is shown that

Very High Resolution Tools for the Monitoring and Assessment of Environmental Hazards in Coastal Areas
Guillermo García-Sánchez, Ana M. Mancho, Antonio G. Ramos, Josep Coca,, Begoña Pérez-Gómez, Enrique Álvarez-Fanjul, Marcos G. Sotillo, Manuel García-León, Víctor J. García-Garrido, Stephen WigginsFrontiers in Marine Science, 7, 605804, 2021Recently, new steps have been taken for the development of operational applications in coastal areas which require very high resolutions both in modeling and remote sensing products. In this context, this work describes a complete monitoring of an oil spill:

Observational Evidence of the Basin‐Wide Gyre Reversal in the Gulf of Taranto
I. Federico, N. Pinardi, V. Lyubartsev, F. Maicu, S. Causio, F. Trotta, C. Caporale, G. Coppini, M. Demarte, A. Falconieri, T. Lacava, R. Lecci, M. Lisi, G. Lorenzetti, G. Manfè, A. A. Sepp‐Neves, L. ZaggiaObservational Evidence of the Basin‐Wide Gyre Reversal in the Gulf of Taranto, Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 47, Issue 22 (2020)The paper shows for the first time the observational evidence of basin‐wide gyre reversal in the Gulf of Taranto (north‐western Ionian Sea in the eastern Mediterranean Sea) by means of two specifically designed in situ oceanographic campaigns (based on CTD

Transport pathways across the West African Monsoon as revealed by Lagrangian Coherent Structures
C. Niang, A. M. Mancho, V. J. Garcia-Garrido, E. Mohino, B. Rodriguez-Fonseca, J. CurbeloScientific Reports 10: 12543 (2020)The West African Monsoon (WAM) system is the main source of rainfall in the agriculturally based region of the Sahel. Understanding transport across the WAM is of crucial importance due to the strong impact of humidity and dust pathways on

Oil spill modeling for the Port of Taranto (SE Italy)
Svitlana Liubartseva¹, Ivan Federico², Giovanni Coppini², Rita Lecci²¹CMCC Foundation - Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change, Ocean Predictions and Applications, Bologna, Italy (svitlana.liubartseva@cmcc.it) ²CMCC Foundation - Euro-Mediterranean Center on Climate Change, Ocean Predictions and Applications, Lecce, ItalyThe Taranto Sea is a Mediterranean lagoon where alarming pressure is expected to further increase, due to industrialization, heavy ship traffic, and densely populated coasts. The area hosts the Trading Port, Industrial Port, and Container Terminal. There is an important

Model-based reconstruction of the Ulysse-Virginia oil spill
S. Liubartseva, M. Smaoui, G. Coppini, G. Gonzalez, R. Lecci, S. Cretì, I. FedericoModel-based reconstruction of the Ulysse-Virginia oil spill, October–November 2018, Marine Pollution Bulletin, Volume 154, 2020, 111002, ISSN 0025-326XIn response to the oil spill caused by the collision between the Ro-Ro ship Ulysse and CSL Virginia on 7th October 2018, the Lagrangian oil spill model MEDSLIK-II was utilized to predict spill transport and fate. Oil drift was forced
