Lagrangian ocean analysis: Fundamentals and practices (2018, background): “1 (Lumpkin and Pazos, 2007), the subsurface Argo floats (Lebedev et al., 2007; Ollitrault and Rannou, 2013), and the tracking of fish larvae (Paris et al., 2013a) and turtle hatchlings (Scott et al., 2014).”
The establishment of a pelagic Sargassum population in the tropical Atlantic: Biological consequences of a basin-scale long distance dispersal event (2020, background): “Lumpkin and Pazos (2007) found that undrogued near-surface drifters experience a windage factor of about 1% in the direction of the wind.”
Suppression of Eddy Diffusivity across Jets in the Southern Ocean (2010, background): “The rate of dispersion of ﬂoats and drifters can also be related to an eddy diffusivity (e.g., Taylor 1921; Davis 1991; LaCasce and Bower 2000; Lumpkin and Pazos 2007).”
On the global estimates of geostrophic and Ekman surface currents (2013, methodology): “Both approaches rely on accurate observations of current provided by the Global Drifter Program data developed since 1979 (Niiler and Paduan 1995; Lumpkin and Pazos 2007).”
