Short summary
Spectacular climatic phenomena such as El Nino—La Nina oscillations are connected with large-scale rearrangements of oceanic surface flow patterns. In order to get a better insight into the dynamics of such changes, we performed numerical experiments on the advection of 6600 water parcels in the focal area. Surface flow fields were taken from the AVISO data bank. A simple stochastic model (fractional Brownian motion) with only two parameters nicely reproduced the statistics of advection.
