摘要
Coherent boundaries of Lagrangian vortices in fluid flows have recently been identified as closed orbits of line fields associated with the Cauchy-Green strain tensor. Here, we develop a fully automated procedure for the detection of such closed orbits in large-scale velocity datasets. We illustrate the power of our method on ocean surface velocities derived from satellite altimetry.
