Short summary
In this paper a new interpretation of the local finite-time Lyapunov exponent is proposed. This concept can practically assist in field experiments where samples are collected at a fixed location and it is necessary to attribute long-distance transport phenomena and location of source points to the characteristic variation of the sampled particles. Also, results of this study have the potential to aid in planning of optimal local sampling of passive particles.
