Lagrangian particle dataset (2 years) for Agulhas region surface flow

This is a .npz file containing the longitudes and latitudes of approximately 24,000 virtual Lagrangian particles (0.2 degree in longitude and latitude initial spacing) released on January 5, 2000 in the eastern South Atlantic Ocean and advected for 2 years. The data was used for the detection of finite-time coherent sets (Agulhas rings), see this github repository for the usage and this github repository for simulation details. Trajectories were simulated using OceanParcels (https://oceanparcels.org/), with surface currents derived from a NEMO-ORCA 006 run, available at http://opendap4gws.jasmin.ac.uk/thredds/nemo/root/catalog.html.
