Plastic waste discharge to the global ocean constrained by seawater observations

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Yanxu Zhang from the General description of model We simulate the fate and transport of plastics by the Nanjing University Marine Plastic (NJU-MP) model based on the MITgcm model framework51, This model is Euler-based and simulates the emission, transport, diffusion, sinking, and transformation (including biofouling, fragmentation, and abrasion) of plastics in each model grid cell. The model has a resolution of, u00b0 u00d7, .5u00b0 horizontally with , vertical levels, and a time step of , h. The ocean circulation data are from the Integrated Global Systems Model (IGSM)53. The ocean boundary layer physics is modeled . . .
