Summary

This data repository contains output files from a particle tracking model simulating how floating HDPE pellets and sinking polystyrene grains dispersed in the North Sea, including scenarios representing the 2019 MSC Zoe accident. The model tracked tens of thousands of simulated particles across generic and incident-specific scenarios.

HDPE PS

Output files from particle tracking model scenario runs: generic dispersal scenarios for the North Sea for 2017, and scenario runs representing releases of the MSC Zoe accident (2019). Simulated particles represent floating 5mm HDPE pellets, and sinking 0.5mm PS grains. Releases were typically 10000-20000 particles for each scenario. Further details are described in the accompanying publication doi: 10.3389/fmars.2021.607203 (Related Identifier). The files contain daily particle positions with accompanying hydrodynamic information.
