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.

Data files of the data of microplastic abundance and mass from Figure 3 of the Van Sebille et al (2015, Environmental Research Letters, doi:10.1088/1748-9326/10/12/124006) paperFigure 3a: maximenkomodel_abundance.csvFigure 3b: maximenkomodel_mass.csvFigure 3c: lebretonmodel_abundance.csvFigure 3d: lebretonmodel_mass.csvFigure 3e: vansebillemodel_abundance.csvFigure 3f: vansebillemodel_mass.csvAll these data sets are in either #/km2 or in g/km2. Use the area.csv (units in km2/gridcell) file to convert to #/gridcell or g/gridcell. Longitudes (in degrees E) and latitudes of the cell centres are also available for download; note that due to interpolation issues there are values for both 0E and 360E, in the first and last column of the mass and abundance files respectively. Sum these to get the distribution at 0E.
