| Zusammenfassung |
| A wind-driven numerical model of the Indian Ocean is used to
examine the horizontal statistics of hundreds of passive tracers spread evenly over the
model domain. The distribution covers several dynamically distinct regions, revealing a
variety of Lagrangian behaviours associated with different geographic locations. In
particular, a cluster of trajectories with scaling dimension as large as 1.3 exists
throughout the equatorial zone. Spectral analysis of trajectory displacements indicates
mixed Rossby-gravity waves are involved in the production of some fractal trajectories. |
