We used transition path theory (TPT) to infer "reactive" pathways of floating marine debris trajectories. The TPT analysis was applied on a pollution-aware time-homogeneous Markov chain model constructed from trajectories produced by satellite-tracked undrogued buoys from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Global Drifter Program. The latter involved coping with the openness of the system in physical space, which further required an adaptation of the standard TPT setting…

Learning forecasts of rare stratospheric transitions from short simulations
Rare events arising in nonlinear atmospheric dynamics remain hard to predict and attribute. We address the problem of forecasting rare events in a prototypical example, Sudden Stratospheric Warmings…
Transition paths of North Atlantic Deep Water
Recently introduced in oceanography to interpret the near surface circulation, Transition Path Theory (TPT) is a methodology that rigorously characterizes ensembles of trajectory pieces flowing out…
Probabilistic forecasts of extreme heatwaves using convolutional neural networks in a regime of lack of data
Understanding extreme events and their probability is key for the study of climate change impacts, risk assessment, adaptation, and the protection of living beings. Extreme heatwaves are, and likely…
Revealing the statistics of extreme events hidden in short weather forecast data
Extreme weather events have significant consequences, dominating the impact of climate on society, but occur with small probabilities that are inherently difficult to compute. A rare event with a…
Do eddies connect the tropical Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico?
Consistent with satellite-tracked trajectories of drogued drifters, but at odds with Eulerian assessment of satellite-altimetry measurements of sea-surface height, we show that North Brazil Currents…
High Concentrations of floating life in the North Pacific Garbage Patch
Floating life (obligate neuston) is a core component of the ocean surface food web. However, only one region of high neustonic abundance is known so far, the Sargasso Sea in the Subtropical North…
Surface Pathways Connecting the South and North Atlantic Oceans
The North Brazil Current (NBC) is considered a bottleneck in the South Atlantic, responsible for carrying upper‐ocean waters into the North Atlantic. This work explores the surface pathways…
Garbage Patches and Their Environmental Implications in a Plastisphere
TLDR
The paper presents some data on the distribution of garbage patches in the world’s oceans and makes some predictions on future growth, which is partly associated with the future increases in worldwide plastics production.
Coupling rare event algorithms with data-based learned committor functions using the analogue Markov chain
TLDR
This work proposes a new approach, based on the analogue Markov chain, for a data-based learning of approximate committor functions, and demonstrates that such learned commITTor functions are extremely efficient score functions when used with the Adaptive Multilevel Splitting algorithm.
Exploring stratospheric rare events with transition path theory and short simulations
Extreme weather events are simultaneously the least likely and the most impactful features of the climate system, increasingly so as climate change proceeds. Extreme events are multi-faceted, highly…

Origin, dynamics and evolution of ocean garbage patches from observed surface drifters
Much of the debris in the near-surface ocean collects in so-called garbage patches where, due to convergence of the surface flow, the debris is trapped for decades to millennia. Until now, studies…
Evidence that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is rapidly accumulating plastic
TLDR
A major ocean plastic accumulation zone formed in subtropical waters between California and Hawaii: The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is characterised and quantified, suggesting that ocean plastic pollution within the GPGP is increasing exponentially and at a faster rate than in surrounding waters.
Surface Connectivity and Interocean Exchanges From Drifter‐Based Transition Matrices
TLDR
This work assesses the capacity of the Markov Chain methodology to detect surface connectivity and dynamic transport barriers in the Agulhas system and the North Atlantic intergyre transport barrier and extends the methodology's functionality to separate the geostrophic and nongeostrophic contributions to interocean exchange in these key regions.

The Arctic Ocean as a dead end for floating plastics in the North Atlantic branch of the Thermohaline Circulation
TLDR
The seafloor beneath this Arctic sector is hypothesized as an important sink of plastic debris given the limited surface transport of the plastic that accumulated here and the mechanisms acting for the downward transport, which would be a dead end for this plastic conveyor belt.
