Some possible trajectories simulated by CMOP of Lagrange Elements released in the South Atlantic Currents during 2019

From August 2019 to January 2020 a large amount of tar balls reached about 2,000 km from the Brazilian Coastline. The origin of the realeased oil and the data are mysterious, as no oil spots have been detected by satellites.
In this document, some possible trajectories are simulated using the CMOP model to track the movement using the surface current provided by the MERCATOR hydrodynamic model for the period from March 2019 to December 2019.
