Processed data and code for manuscript "Non-negligible impact of Stokes drift and wave-driven Eulerian currents on simulated surface particle dispersal in the Mediterranean Sea"

This repository contains the python code and processed data to reproduce analysis and figures from Rühs et al. (2024, Ocean Science): "Non-negligible impact of Stokes drift and wave-driven Eulerian currents on simulated surface particle dispersal in the Mediterranean Sea".

To reproduce the whole analysis, including the calculations of the trajectories, the following needs to be downloaded/included into a local working directory:

the content of this repository in respective sub-directories, i.e. code (created and maintained at https://github.com/sruehs/RuehsEtAl2024_ImpactWavesSurfaceDispersal), data-proc, figs

the original surface velocity data, to be downloaded here: https://zenodo.org/records/10879702, in an additional sub-directory named data-orig

Additionally, the OceanParcels package, available via https://github.com/OceanParcels/parcels or https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/parcels needs to be installed in the python working environment. Then, the scripts in the code directory can be executed to re-run the trajectory simulations and analysis. Alternatively, the output in forms of figures and processed data can be accesed directly in the respective sub-directories.
