| Title: |
Plastic collected from SSV Corwith Cramer in North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre from 1986-10-15 to 2008-12-20 (NCEI Accession 0211007) |
| Abstract: |
Data contains a time series of plastic content at the surface of the western North Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea from 1986 to 2008. The highest concentration of plastic debris was observed in subtropical latitudes and associated with the observed large-scale convergence in surface currents predicted by Ekman dynamics. |
