This is a peer review comment on a manuscript describing Parcels v2.0, a Lagrangian drift code with new field interpolation schemes, including a demonstration study of floating microplastics. The reviewer found the manuscript well written with useful figures and only minor suggestions for improvement.

This manuscript describes the upgrades leading to version 2.0 of the Parcels lagrangian drift code, with emphasis on new field interpolation schemes.A short section is devoted to mathematical validation of the new schemes, and a longer section is devoted to a demonstration study of floating microplastics.The manuscript is well written, with few typos.Figures, in particular the field diagrams, are very clear and useful.In C1
