plasticparcels
is a python package for simulating the transport and dispersion of plastics in the ocean.
The tool is based on the Parcels
computational Lagrangian ocean analysis framework (@Lange2017 and @Delandmeter2019), providing a modular and customisable collection of methods, notebooks, and tutorials for advecting virtual plastic particles with a wide range of physical properties.
plasticparcels
can be installed using conda
from the conda-forge
channel with the following command:
