Modeling the Fate and Distribution of Floating Litter Particles in the Aegean Sea (E. Mediterranean)

A circulation model is coupled to a Lagrangian particle-tracking model to simulate the transport floating litter particles in the Aegean Sea, Greece (Eastern Mediterranean). Considering different source regions and release dates, simulations were carried out to explore the fate and distribution of f...
