Are there any studies into where planktonic life end up?

After getting some pretty crazy drifters in my area this year it’s got me thinking even more than usual about how surprisingly different every year has been for what larger planktonic life like jellies show up. Sure there’s some mainstays like lions manes, comb jellies but it’s pretty crazy how varied the visitors get. One year it was salps, one year it was immortal jellies, another year had mauve stingers, and this year had moon jellies which I haven’t seen in the wild since I was little alongside sea angels of all things. Its not like the visitors are uncommon when they’re around either, with them being super common until I assume the temperatures become unfavorable for them, although I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a different factor or even a mix of factors at play. I’d assume it’s the ocean currents at play bringing them all over but I’m wondering what determines what gets dragged where if any, since it always seems to be larger groups of a few species rather than a hodge podge of a more varied species. For anyone who took the time to read through my ramblings thank you and if you have any idea what’s going on please let me know cause this has really been on my mind lately.
