Mapping microplastic pathways and accumulation zones in the Gulf of Finland, Baltic Sea – insights from modeling by Arun Mishra, Enriko Siht, Germo Väli, Taavi Liblik, Natalja Buhhalko, Urmas Lips

“…The MP concentrations in the surface layer and water column were higher in winter while settling was more intense in summer. Short-term variability in the surface layer was caused by (sub)mesoscale advection and divergence/convergence, while in the near-bottom layer, strong bottom currents and consequent resuspension elevated the concentrations.…”
