What does LaTTE stand for?
Lagrangian Transport and Transformation Experiment or LaTTE for short. The Lagrangian refers to Joseph-Louis Lagrange, an 18th-century French mathematician who developed formulas for studying the motion of fluids while following their flow. The LaTTE experiment involves the study of the Hudson River Plume flowing into the NY-NJ Harbor. The experiment is being conducted by a group of scientists from 6 research institutions around the nation. The experiment is being led by Dr. Robert Chant from the Institute of Marine & Coastal Sciences at Rutgers University.
