Mapped solution of microplastic abundance based on Maximenko model

AI summary Read the abstract

This is a data file containing a gridded map of microplastic abundance in the global ocean based on the Maximenko ocean circulation model, published alongside the Van Sebille et al. (2015) comparison study of microplastic distribution models. The dataset provides spatial estimates of surface microplastic concentrations used in environmental risk assessments and pollution modeling.

data of microplastic abundance and mass from Figure 3 of Van Sebille et al (2015, ERL) paper

AI summary Read the abstract

This dataset provides mapped abundance and mass estimates of floating microplastics across the global ocean surface, compiled from three different numerical models (Maximenko, Lebreton, Van Sebille) as part of a 2015 Environmental Research Letters study. The data enables comparison of model predictions for where microplastics accumulate in ocean gyres.
