Mapped solution of microplastic abundance based on Lebreton model

AI summary Read the abstract

This dataset provides a mapped estimate of microplastic abundance (particle counts) across the global ocean based on the Lebreton circulation model, complementing mass-based estimates and supporting analysis of where plastic particles are most densely distributed.

Model results for the total particle count and weight of plastic floating in the world's oceans.

AI summary Read the abstract

This dataset presents model-estimated total particle counts and weights of plastic floating in each major ocean basin and globally, including corrected estimates that account for the vertical distribution of microplastics below the surface. These modeled estimates are foundational inputs for assessing the scale of global ocean plastic pollution.
