Some first particle track computations with fine grid and coarse grid velocity fields of the Southern North Sea

A recently developed particle track simulation model is presented. Various aspects are discussed, and numerical errors due to discretization, interpolation and time-integration are estimated. Its capabilities are illustrated on two applications in ongoing research. The first is taken from a study of the influence of small scale bottom topography in the North Sea on the representation of transport of matter using numerical models. In the second illustration particle track computations are performed in a comparison of several tide-averaged velocity concepts with respect to their usefulness in long term transport simulations.
