Short summary
A new methodology to reconstruct HF radar velocity fields based on neural networks is developed. Its performance is compared with other methods focusing on the propagation of errors introduced in the reconstruction of the velocity fields through the trajectories, Lagrangian flow structures and residence times. We find that even when a large number of measurements in the HFR velocity field is missing, the Lagrangian techniques still give an accurate description of oceanic transport properties.
