A State-of-the-Art Compact Surface Drifter Reveals Pathways of Floating Marine Litter in the German Bight

Lagrangian observations are important for the understanding of complex transport patterns of floating macroscopic litter items at the ocean surface. Satellite-tracked drifters and numerical models are an important source of information relevant to transport processes as well as distribution patterns...
