Particle Tracking data for 'Basin-scale sources and pathways of microplastic that ends up in the Galapagos Archipelago'
AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset provides particle tracking simulation outputs using Parcels v2.0.0 for a study on basin-scale sources and pathways of microplastics reaching the Galapagos Archipelago. The simulations model ocean current-driven transport of floating plastic particles across the Pacific basin.
Influence of Barotropic Tidal Currents on Transport and Accumulation of Floating Microplastics in the Global Open Ocean
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers modeled the influence of barotropic tidal currents on the transport and accumulation of floating microplastics in the ocean, finding that tidal oscillations alter particle dispersion patterns and affect predicted accumulation zones compared to simulations that omit tidal forcing. The results indicate that tidal dynamics should be incorporated into global microplastic transport models for greater accuracy.

AI summary Read the abstract
This dataset presents simulated trajectories of polyester microfibers released in the Salish Sea using Lagrangian particle tracking with the Parcels framework and SalishSeaCast circulation fields. The simulations tracked microfiber movement from January to October 2023, providing data on how textile microplastics disperse through a coastal ocean system.
Influence of tidal currents on transport and accumulation of floating microplastics in the ocean
AI summary Read the abstract
This modeling study investigated how tidal currents affect the transport and accumulation of floating microplastics in the ocean, using numerical simulations to compare scenarios with and without tidal forcing. The results show that tides can significantly alter predicted microplastic distribution patterns, which has implications for modeling where plastic debris accumulates.
OceanParcels/Parcelsv2.0PaperNorthSeaScripts: Parcelsv2.0PaperNorthSeaScripts
AI summary Read the abstract
This entry documents software scripts associated with the Parcels v2.0 Lagrangian ocean particle tracking framework, which is used to model the transport and dispersion of particles including plastic debris in ocean currents. Such computational tools are essential for predicting where microplastics accumulate in the ocean.
