Short summary
In applications related to search and rescue or pollution mitigation, gaining insights into turbulent processes at a fine scale on the ocean surface is crucial. This research suggests combining numerical model outputs with Lagrangian drifter measurements to enhance the reconstruction of surface current velocity fields. The findings demonstrate a notable enhancement (approximately 50 %) in the model's ability to replicate the movement of passive tracers in the Dover Strait.
