IBM Simulations of Diel Vertically Migrating Particles using Flow Fields from
3D Spectral Element Ocean Model Simulations

Positions of individuals released at depths of -30 m at various X locations at Yloc = 740 km. Snapshots are shown at 0.25 day intervals for individuals that migrate vertically. This animation shows the time history of particles released at -15, -30 and -45 m for a 28 day simulation. The FLC animation can be obtained by clicking here.
