Fast lagrangian particle tracking in unstructured ocean model grids

This article is behind a paywall - contact the lead author if you'd like more information beyond the abstract.

Highlights

• Virtual particle tracking is an important tool in quantifying bio-physical transports in the ocean.
• New tool enables this to be 200-500 times faster
• This speed allows scientists to scale from modelling 100,000 particles to 100s of millions
• This enables much better estimates of where pollution and marine larvae travel in  the ocean
