Dataset Supporting LOCATE Simulations for Floating Marine Litter in the Black Sea (2017), Published in Front. Mar. Sci. (2023) and Mar. Pollut. Bull. (2025)

The dataset includes the following files: Rivers_2017.nc: Regional simulation of floating marine litter released from the 11 main rivers entering the Black Sea in 2017. Homogeneous_2017_SD.nc: Homogeneous surface release simulation including Stokes drift. Homogeneous_2017_NSD.nc: Same as above, but without Stokes drift, for comparative analysis. Dniester_C1.pkl: Coastal simulation of particle release from the Dniester River using a velocity-based beaching criterion. Dniester_C2.pkl: Coastal simulation of particle release from the Dniester River using a distance-based beaching criterion.
