Lagrangian descriptors in geophysical flows: a survey

This survey focuses on the application of Lagrangian descriptors to reveal the geometry of phase space structures that determine transport in dynamical systems. We present diverse formulations of the method and examine various applications of Lagrangian descriptors in geophysical fluids, such as atm...
