The role of the unsteady surface wave-driven Ekman–Stokes flow in the accumulation of floating marine litter

Recently, a number of authors have used global particle tracking simulations to identify the effect that different surface currents have on marine litter accumulation, including the role of surface waves through the Stokes drift. However, in the upper-ocean boundary layer and in the presence of the...
