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.
The scripts here are examples of how Parcels v2.0 can be used for Lagrangian Ocean Analysis. They were used to simulate the distribution of floating microplastic in the North West European continental shelf and its sensitivity to different physical processes, leading to the results in the last section of "The Parcels v2.0 Lagrangian framework: new field interpolation schemes", by Philippe Delandmeter and Erik van Sebille, 2019, Geoscientific Model Development.
