Abstract

We study the behavior of a cluster of a floating tracer in a two-dimensional turbulent medium in conection with problems of the physics of the atmosphere and ocean. We obtain an asymptotic solution to the equation for the density of a cluster of the floating tracer for a small coefficient of molecular diffusion for the case of a specified velocity field on the fluid surface. The time evolution of the cluster shape and coordinates has been analyzed.
