This is a supplementary dataset for a study tracking the transport and deposition of ocean-sourced microplastic particles carried by a North Atlantic hurricane — not a standalone article.
Hurricane transport of ocean-sourced microplastic in the North Atlantic
Researchers found that Atlantic hurricanes can pick up microplastics from ocean surface waters and transport them as airborne particles, depositing them far from their origin. This study reveals that extreme weather events are an important but overlooked pathway for spreading microplastic pollution to remote regions.
Transport and deposition of ocean-sourced microplastic particles by a North Atlantic hurricane
During Hurricane Larry in 2021, researchers collected atmospheric samples over Newfoundland and found that the storm deposited over 113,000 microplastic particles per square meter per day. Analysis suggests the particles were picked up from the North Atlantic garbage patch as the hurricane passed over it. This study shows that major storms can transport ocean microplastics through the air to remote areas, expanding the reach of plastic pollution.

Chasing plastic storms: Assessing atmospheric microplastic deposition by a ‘pulse event’ of tropical storm Fiona in Eastern Canada
Researchers geospatially analysed atmospheric microplastic deposition during tropical storm Fiona, one of the most destructive storms on record for Eastern Canada, using a unique time series to track how the extreme weather event mobilised and redistributed anthropogenic microdebris across terrestrial, aquatic, and marine environments. The study found that extreme meteorological events represent a significant and undercharacterised pathway for concentrated atmospheric microplastic deposition over large areas.
Supplementary data for 'From source to sink: part 1—characterization and Lagrangian tracking of riverine microplastics in the Mediterranean Basin'
This data deposit provides the geographic datasets and Lagrangian particle-tracking simulation outputs used to map how microplastics travel from Mediterranean rivers into the sea and where they accumulate on the surface and seafloor. The underlying research quantifies microplastic fluxes from 549 Mediterranean river basins, providing a foundation for understanding which coastal and marine areas face the highest microplastic exposure from riverine inputs.
Long-range Atmospheric Transport of Microplastics across the Southern Hemisphere

A multilevel dataset of microplastic abundance in the world’s upper ocean and the Laurentian Great Lakes
Researchers synthesized 8,218 pelagic microplastic samples from the world's oceans into a multilevel public dataset, calibrating for sampling differences and vertical mixing effects to provide standardized global estimates of upper ocean microplastic abundance.

Lagrangian characterization of surface transport from the Equatorial Atlantic to the Caribbean Sea using climatological Lagrangian Coherent Structures and Self-Organizing Maps
Scientists used climate data and computational modeling to map ocean current pathways that carry floating material from the Equatorial Atlantic to the Caribbean Sea. Understanding these transport routes is essential for predicting where marine plastic debris — including microplastics — accumulates in the ocean.

Researchers measured the abundance, size distribution, and polymer composition of microplastics 10 micrometers and larger in the Atlantic Ocean, finding widespread contamination and providing data that helps fill gaps in understanding smaller particle fractions.
Dataset on mesoplastics and microplastics abundances and characteristics from sandy beaches before and after typhoon events in northern Taiwan
Researchers collected beach sand samples from two northern Taiwan beaches over 20 months, tracking how typhoons changed the amounts and types of plastic particles. The dataset captures how extreme weather events redistribute plastic pollution along coastlines, providing a valuable time-series resource for studying how climate-driven storms affect microplastic accumulation on beaches.
Micro(nano)plastics in the atmosphere of the Atlantic Ocean.
This study characterized micro- and nanoplastic particles in atmospheric aerosols collected on a transect from Spain to Chile across the Atlantic Ocean, finding plastics present throughout the open ocean atmosphere. The findings demonstrate that long-range atmospheric transport is a significant pathway for spreading microplastics from source regions across the global ocean.
