Simulations of surface Lagrangian tracers using the regional ocean modeling system (ROMS) velocity field in the northern Gulf of Mexico from 2016-01-29 to 2016-08-08

A series of the Larval TRANSport Lagrangian model (LTRANS) simulation for surface Lagrangian tracers in the De Soto Canyon region and to the west of the Mississippi Fan. The Lagrangian tracers are confined near the ocean surface and are advected off-line by interpolating on the particle positions the regional ocean modeling system (ROMS) hourly-averaged horizontal velocities using LTRANS v.2b.
