Short summary
Lagrangian coherent structures (LCSs) describe material transport in ocean flow by describing transport and accumulation regions. We discuss the implications of model flow field uncertainty for finite-time Lyapunov exponents (FTLEs), which under certain conditions approximate LCSs. FTLEs add value to forecasting when they are certain and long-lived. Averaging FTLEs reveals where they are more certain and long-lived, often influenced by bottom topography.
