Summary

This dataset supports an Eulerian modeling study of the three-dimensional global ocean distribution of seven common microplastic polymer types, including sensitivity experiments varying vertical mixing and buoyancy assumptions. The model provides spatially resolved estimates of microplastic concentrations from the surface to depth, informing global assessments of ocean plastic pollution.
