DOI: 10.3389/fmars.2017.00191
Abstract: A circulation model is coupled to a Lagrangian particle-tracking model to transport floating litter particles in the Aegean Sea, Greece (Eastern Mediterranean). Considering different source regions and release dates, simulations were carried out to explore… read more here.
