Estimations of floating microplastics, mesoplastics, and macroplastics around Kuroshio Current, western North Pacific collected from 2014-02-03 to 2014-03-01 (NCEI Accession 0279325)

Description

This study estimated the concentration of floating microplastics (i.e. plastics measuring less than 5 mm; reported in unit of counts/km2), mesoplastics (i.e. plastics measuring 5-25 mm; reported in unit of counts/km2), and macroplastics (i.e. plastics measuring greater than 25 mm; reported in unit of counts/km2) around Kuroshio Current, western North Pacific collected from 2014-02-03 to 2014-03-01. These plastics in the surface water were collected using a neuston net (450 µm mesh size) by horizontally towing the net over the sea surface for 10 min at a ship speed of approximately three knots at each station. This dataset contains the results from all 132 surface water samples, in a spreadsheet format.
