Resum

This thesis focuses on the study of Lagrangian transport in different types of fluids. The aim of this work is to explore interactions between particles and fluids in two different areas of science; oceanography and meteorology. Different practical applications, such as the movement of plastics in the ocean and the transport of moisture in the atmosphere, will be examined in both study areas. To do this, we will explore the use of numerical Lagrangian models to validate results and test new hypotheses.
