Model results of particle tracking model simulating microplastics dispersal in the North Sea, including runs representing the MSC Zoe accident. Version 10

Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research https://doi.org/10.25850/nioz/7b.b.9

Output files from particle tracking model scenario runs: generic dispersal scenarios for the North Sea for 2017, and scenario runs representing releases of the MSC Zoe accident (2019). Simulated particles represent floating 5mm HDPE pellets, and sinking 0.5mm PS grains. Releases were typically 10000-20000 particles for each scenario. Further details are described in the accompanying publication doi: 10.3389/fmars.2021.607203 (Related Identifier). The files contain daily particle positions with accompanying hydrodynamic information.
