Examining the Feasibility of Passive Satellite Remote Sensing of Ocean Microplastics With New High-Resolution Multiple Scattering Simulations

2025
Gili Kurtser, Carynelisa Haspel

Summary

Researchers examined the feasibility of detecting ocean microplastics using passive satellite remote sensing by combining in situ data analysis with Mie scattering calculations and advanced multiple scattering simulations, evaluating whether spectral signatures of microplastic particles are detectable against the ocean surface optical background.

Study Type Environmental

Marine microplastics threaten ecosystems and are difficult to detect remotely. This study evaluates passive satellite detection feasibility by combining analysis of tabulated in situ data, precise Mie scattering, and advanced multiple scattering simulations.
